Abstract/Description
This podcast performs case studies on Tufts Medical Center and Northeastern University to analyze how Boston institutions have negatively impacted the health of the neighborhoods. We specifically speak about the fight for Parcel C between the Chinatown Progressive Association and Tufts Medical Center as well as the expansion of Northeastern's off-campus student population and the Mission Hill neighborhood. The focus here is on the health impacts on the community- pollution in regards to Chinatown and increased stress on families in regards to rising rents in Mission Hill.
