Aerial View Back Bay c1958 MIT Libraries by clamshack, on FlickrI did not expect to follow the link to that account and find a motherlode of racing photos, but I'm not going to complain one bit! On the local side, I didn't know "Charles River Park" was a thing until now.

There are very few urban renewal projects that I would say are better than what they replaced and this is one of them. I would take the reflecting pool and plaza any day.

Climb to the Top Boston by national-multiple-sclerosis-society, on FlickrNot technically flickr so you'll have to click into these. Every so often I just google "Boston aerial" and scan everything posted across the web for the last month. Here are some good ones for your viewing pleasure.
Category 1: OLD
Category 1.5: Pretty Old
It looks like this first one is actually a render. 3 towers and a couple huge lowrises that never happened.
Check this one out. Greenway is under construction and there's nothing in the Seaport
Category 2: New (enough)
Couple years old but Back Bay looks incredible.

Theres a whole lot of urban renewal destruction here, but apparently this was the plan for the symphony towers. They have another one off to the left, destroyed all of those wonderful townhouses in the triangle near 1 dalton today, and added a massive landscraper on huntington ave..etc. Ive never seen this before, awesome pic.
Apparently they had 20% of their height chopped off and the facade value engineered, just like today! Back then VE’d facades meant absolute garbage completely blank concrete panels, weve come a long way. Still not long enough yet though. These are an absolute eyesore today, but it looks like they were almost actually pretty decent. Damn!

Love the street cars and all the hats. Reminds me of Howl’s Moving Castle (the animated film).
