(Photo by Colin OBrien / Unsplash) If you’ve flown into Boston’s airport or explored its downtown, chances are you’ve stood on land that was once underwater in the city’s history and that is projected to be flooded in the future. The city has more made land than any other in North America: It added 5,250 acres of new land throughout its history, amounting to one-sixth of its current land area. Boston boldly refashioned its own geography by creating low-lying land, but in doing so has left some of the city’s most economically important neighborhoods and infrastructure vulnerable to flooding wit

To guide how they grow and adapt to shape the best possible future of the planet, cities need cutting-edge scientific research – knowledge gaps that higher education institutions are well-positioned to help fill.

*Justice, Democracy, and Law is a recurring series by Edward B.

In the early 1950s, when America’s suburbs boomed and television variety show host Dinah Shore belted out “See the USA in your Chevrolet,” fast-food and drive-in restaurants popped up everywhere. Boulder was no exception. Popular hamburger joints at the time included the Twinburger, then east of Boulder on Arapahoe Avenue. Twinburger and others from the 1950s are long gone, but two restaurant buildings from an even earlier era are still recognizable today. Of the two, Mustard’s Last Stand at 1719 Broadway is slated for the wrecking ball. Even if the restaurant reopens in another location, the
