Here's a fascinating photo essay on "urban renewal" in Boston. It shows "Medieval Boston" (1920s) and the dramatic changes it has suffered in automobile-induced destruction projects since. It's heartbreaking to think what Boston, still one of America's most livable and walkable cities, could have been were it not for the wholesale demolition that allowed us to build things like… the evil, crushing new city hall.

Thanks to Ben for the pointer.
