Immigrant Engagement in Public Open Space
The first immigrants to arrive in Massachusetts brought with them a clear mental image of what public open space should look like and how it should be used. This paper considers how recent immigrants to Boston connect (and do not connect) to public open spaces. It also explores alternative ways of “seeing” and using open spaces in different communities and highlights specific strategies, to engage urban residents born outside the United States.
