Restoration of Boston Bay (USA)



Boston Bay restoration project is one of the largest in scale in the States involving 43 cities, 2 million people, 5500 enterprises, 11-year construction, and 3.8 billion dollars of cost. The United States Massachusetts water resource bureau, established in 1997, not only adjusted the 43 cities’ interests but led a project hiring a number of expert staff, and gained a great number of citizens’ cooperation to secure the financial sources required for the project (public involvement).
Boston Bay restoration project has substantially improved the water environment in the bay. It has given the local people the sense of confidence and pride, and is said to have contributed to activating the local economy.
