The Hub's Metropolis: Boston's Suburban Development from Railroad Suburbs to Smart Growth

Waltham Visions Upcoming Event- 9/10/2013 - The Hub's Metropolis with James O'Connell

Join us for an evening with James O'Connell as he discusses Waltham's unique
place in the history of the region's development from country estates to modern
metropolitan suburbs. O'Connell will trace the city's ascent from village
retreat for Boston's wealthiest citizens through the rise of the railroad, the
streetcar, and into the present day landscape of roads, transit hubs, cars,
buses, trains and Route 128, reflecting on the impact of planning throughout the
years.
