âA culture, we all know, is made by cities,â Derek Walcott said in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech. Walcott spent many years teaching at Boston University, so it would be nice to think that Boston was at least somewhere in the poetâs mind when he wrote those words, in 1992.
This city has changed enormously in the nearly three decades since â Big Dig, Seaport, the list goes on â but nothing like the changes that may await all cities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Architectural photographer Arthur Drooker is well aware of the reputation held by America s city halls. After all, the subjects of his latest project are so closely associated with bureaucracy they have inspired the despairing aphorism, You can t fight city hall. Most people have probably never gone into their city hall unless they absolutely had to, whether that was to pay a tax bill, pull permits for construction, vote on election day or attend a hearing, Drooker said in a video interview. But the more memorable ones are beautiful buildings you just want to visit just for their own sake.
