Boston Redevelopment Authority. Ninety Million Dollar Development Program for Boston.

The plan is presented by Mayor John Collins at the Old South Meeting House. The largest per capita urban renewal plan in the U.S., it covers 50% of the land area of the city in 10 “general renewal areas” (Downtown North, including Government Center, North Station, North End and Waterfront; Central Business District; Back Bay, Charlestown, South End, Roxbury-North Dorchester; Parker Hill-Fenway; South Boston; East Boston; Jamaica Plain) and six “neighborhood improvement areas.” Approved by the Boston City Council on November 2, 1960, the plan subsequently attracts more than $200 million in federal funding and expands to include the Fenway; Madison Park-Campus High; South Cove; New Whitney Street, and North Harvard Street.
