Phillips Square has been transformed into a colorful gathering space for the Chinatown community.

Page Sections

The Boston Transportation Department, working with the BPDA, Cresset Development, and Kyle Zick Landscape Architecture, have transformed the streetscape on Harrison Avenue — between Essex Street and Oxford Pl — into a neighborhood-friendly gathering space. Based on ideas developed with members of the community in Chinatown, the current plaza space includes seating, landscaping in planters, painted graphics on the street, a painted utility box, and foo dog statues facing outwards. The plaza has added 5,000 square feet of expanded public space available for people to gather.
