If you live in Boston or even just visited here that time your parents made you go on a Duck Tour to listen to the guy with the inexplicably awful accent tell you fact after fact about Paul Revere, you've probably seen City Hall Plaza. For anyone who doesn't know, picture about 6 football fields covered with bricks...and nothing else.
As part of the EPAs "Let's Hippify Everything" campaign (just kidding, I'm a big supporter of this), Boston's City Hall Plaza was targeted to receive the first 'Green' overhaul.
From Fast Company:
The EPA, in a gesture that will forever endear them to Bay Staters, has selected the frigid and loathsome brick-scape around City hall as one of five winners of its new Greening America's Capitals campaign. The winner of a preliminary screening will work with the agency and the city of Boston in November to try and come up with a plan to soften the barren, 7-acre wasteland that surrounds the terrifying Brutalist monument, Boston City Hall, surely one of the least-loved buildings in America.
Personally looking forward to seeing the new space.
