  • The only historically Chinese area in New England, Chinatown, Boston is a neighborhood located in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. Centered on Beach Street, the neighborhood borders Boston Common, Downtown Crossing, the South End, and the Southeast Expressway/Massachusetts Turnpike. It is the third-largest Chinatowns in the United States. Part of it occupies a space reclaimed by filling a tidal flat; the newly-created area was first settled by Anglo-Bostonians. After residential properties in this area became less desirable due to railway developments, it was settled by a mixed succession of Irish, Jewish, Italian, Syrian, and Chinese immigrants. Each group replaced the previous one to take advantage of low-cost housing and job opportunities in the area. During the late-nineteenth century, garment manufacturing plants also moved into Chinatown, creating Boston's historic garment district. The garment district was active until the 1990s. Negotiations resulted in the provision of funds for the construction of new community housing in Chinatown. During this period, city officials also designated an area adjacent to Chinatown as Boston's red light district, also known as the Combat Zone. However, the Combat Zone virtually disappeared by the 1990s, due to city pressure and a general increase in property values, encouraging building sales and the removal of former tenants.
  • La Chinatown di Boston è il quartiere cinese di Boston, nel Massachusetts. Il quartiere si concentra intorno a Beach Street. In origine esso era abitato da WASP, ma con lo sviluppo della linea ferroviaria le proprietà nel quartiere divennero meno desiderabili e la zona cominciò ad essere popolata da una successione mista di irlandesi, ebrei, italiani, siriani e cinesi. Ciascun gruppo ha sostituito il precedente con l'obiettivo di trovare case a basso costo e opportunità di lavoro nella zona. Sul finire del XIX secolo, fino agli anni '90 del '900, nell'area erano diffuse molte sartorie. Sempre fino all'ultimo decennio del secolo scorso, il nome di Chinatown veniva associato anche ad un altro quartiere limitrofo, il Combat Zone, un quartiere a luci rosse concentrato su Washington Street, chiuso poi per la pressione della cittadinanza e per il generale incremento dei prezzi delle proprietà.
