The new book Urban Archipelago: An Environmental History of the Boston Harbor Islands explores how the city of Boston has transformed the islands on its doorstep time and time again, as the city’s needs shifted over the centuries. From a valuable site for farming, to a dumping ground for all of Boston’s problems, to a wilderness of history and romance, to an urban park, these many transformations reflect a changing city. Author Dr. Pavla Šimková joins us this week to discuss how Boston initially embraced the islands, later turned its back on the Harbor, and more recently has embraced them both again. You’ll hear us argue about the 1960s plan to hold a bicentennial expo on the harbor and the role of storyteller Edward Rowe Snow in promoting the Harbor Islands to a new generation, and you’ll hear us agree about the beauty and importance of this urban asset.

- Purchase the book Urban Archipelago: An Environmental History of the Boston Harbor Islands
- To listen to my comments on the Boston Harbor Expo plan that Pavla and I disagreed on, listen to episode 219
- For more of my feelings about Edward Rowe Snow, try episode 213 about the manuscript by Ben Franklin he helped falsify or episode 147 about the “pirate” Rachel Wall.
