I Want to be METROPOLITAN
Firm
“I Want to be METROPOLITAN” is an urban and architectural case study of Boston in order to
introduce the topic of MINI-Metropolitanism. Our intention is
to create a dialogue about two important topics; scales of
metropolises and variety of urbanism. In an era where there are more
than 400 cities with a population of over 1million, the term
“metropolis” seems quite outdated. Similarly as the idea of
having the term “Megapolis,” we think there are a number of
cities in the world that can be categorized as a MINI-Metropolis.
Although smaller than the quintessential metropolis that is New York,
these “Mini-metropolises” still have a high quality of
built environments, which should be differentiated from second tier
cities. Also, unlike many urban studies these days,
MINI-Metroplitanism addresses non-radical urbanism; less
density than cities like Tokyo, slower growth than cities like
Shanghai, and less congestion than cities like New York. We believe
that studying the development of this urbanism can provide clues for
urban growth for other cities with similar characteristics from
around the world, which we call the MINI-Metropolis.
