Historic and Cultural District

We seek to develop Chinatown as a Historic and Cultural District that preserves and safeguards the living pulse of Boston's immigrant history; it centers on the principle that Chinatown can only be preserved if its working class Chinese residents and small businesses remain.   

The historic and cultural district is a community-driven organizing and development strategy, which has many overlapping pieces, including cultural district designation, historic district designation, zoning reform, public art and cultural place-keeping, documentation and celebration of Chinatown's immigrant working class history, and an agenda to grow the community's small businesses. Chinatown CLT supports this broad community collaboration, with a particular focus on:

  • Utilizing Zoning, Cultural District, and Historic District Protections

  • Row House Preservation

  • Immigrant History Trail

  • Partnering with artist Wen-ti Tsen on the Chinatown Worker Statues project

歷史文化保護

我們尋求發展華埠為歷史文化區，保存和保護波士頓移民歷史的生活脈搏，以這樣的原則為中心：華埠只有保留其工人階層的華人居民和小本生意，才能得到保育。

歷史文化區是一個由社區驅動的組織和發展策略，其中有許多重疊部分，包括文化區指定，歷史區指定，分區改革，公共藝術和文化場所保管，唐人街移民工人階層歷史的文獻記載和慶祝活動 ，以及一個發展社區小本生意的議程。華埠社區土地信託會支持這一系列的社區協作，並特別聚焦於：

  • 華埠排屋覆蓋區

  • 保存排屋

  • 移民歷史徑

  • 艺术家曾文提的華埠工人雕像

Immigrant History Trail

The Immigrant History Trail is a multimedia public art project that activates Boston Chinatown's community archives to share stories about the neighborhood's working class immigrant histories. Plaques will hang on the walls of buildings across Boston Chinatown, inviting visitors to navigate the neighborhood with curiosity. QR codes link to the trail’s website, which highlights relevant text, images, and audio fragments, and points to where visitors can learn more. This project is a community stewarded resource that will be updated regularly with new contributions of sites and stories for the Immigrant History Trail.

移民歷史徑

移民歷史徑是一個多媒體公共藝術項目,透過喚醒波士頓華埠的社區檔案,分享這個社區內工薪階級移民的歷史故事。

我們將在華埠各建築物的牆面上掛起牌匾,邀請訪客帶著好奇心探索這個街區。掃描牆上的二維碼就可以跳轉到網站,閱覽相關的文章、圖片和音頻片段,並指引訪客了解更多資訊。我們將在啟動儀式上進行四個牌匾的步行導覽。

這個項目是一個由社區管理的資源,將會定期更新、加入新的地點和故事,豐富移民歷史徑。
