City Introduction
As the capital of Massachusetts, Boston is the largest city in Massachusetts and in New England. Located in the northeastern of the United States along the Atlantic coast, the city founded in 1630, is one of America's oldest and most cultural value cities. Boston is not only a place where some of the important events occurred during the American Revolution, but also a major shipping port and manufacturing center years back. Today, in addition to the center of higher education and health care, Boston is a city where its population receives the highest level of education in America. Its economy is based on scientific research, finance and technology - especially biotechnology, and it is considered a global city or a cosmopolitan city.
The city is located in the center of the Greater Boston metropolitan area, and the metropolitan area includes the whole Suffolk County, Cambridge, Quincy, Newton, Somerville, Malden, Revere, and Chelsea as well as some small town and the suburbs far away from Boston, and even a portion of New Hampshire.
On January 8, 2015, the United States Olympic Committee announced that Boston will represent the United States to bid for the hosting of the 2024 Summer Olympics.
History and Culture
As a city, Boston was built on September 7, 1630. In the Mid-19th century, the city's industrial manufacturing greatly exceeded the proportion of international trade. Until the early 1900s, Boston had been one of the American largest manufacturing center, famous for apparel manufacturing and leather production industry. In the 1970s, Boston restored its prosperity and promoted the development of mutual funds after more than 30 years of economic downturn. Boston enjoys a good reputation for its outstanding medical care, where Massachusetts General Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center take a leading position in the United States. Harvard, MIT, Boston College and other universities have attracted a good many students to come to Boston for further study. In the 21st century, Boston has become a center of intellectual, technological and political ideas.
City Infrastructure
The downtown area and the neighboring areas are mainly composed of low-rise brick or stone buildings, and there are many federal architecture-style old buildings, of which some are mixed together with modern high-rise buildings, especially in the financial district, Government Center, the South Boston Waterfront area and Back Bay. They are the seat of the Boston Public Library, Christian Science Church, Copley Square, Newbury Street, and many other prominent landmarks, as well as New England's 2 tallest buildings: the John Hancock Tower and the Prudential Center. Near the John Hancock Tower there is the Berkeley Building (Old John Hancock Building) and striking meteorological tower. The residential areas are composed of single-family residential villas and post and panel structure multi-family townhouses, which are dotted with some smaller commercial streets.
Climate
The weather in New England is always unpredictable, and it’s extremely cold in winter, but warm and humid in summer. The duration from late May to late September each year is the peak tourist season in Boston. During this period there is a pleasant climate with the highest temperature of only 20 Celsius degrees, and most of the attractions in Boston are open to visitors. Early summer and late summer is the most comfortable season, with moderate temperature and dry air. In late June and early August of each year, Boston will become very hot and humid, where all taxis, buses and subways and other transportation facilities will be equipped with air conditioners. Boston is the most beautiful in mid-October each year, with crisp air and blue sky.
