Kendall/MIT Infill and Small Developments

Some additional interesting Boston Globe coverage on Kendall Sq today, from a equity point of view - noting the stark absence of women founded companies in the sq. But also noting the historical cycles of boom/bust in Kendall - from 1900’s soap and candy to 1980’s AI all coming and going. Article makes the decent argument that diversity is key to sustainable, longer booms.

Also a great plug in the article for a recent MIT Press book on history of Kendall Sq.

It wasn't readily apparent if a higher-rez design package was posted somewhere (I couldn't find it). Nonetheless, for context, here's the site:

This seems like an awkward addition.
