There might as well be three Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenways. That’s how varied are the segments into which it’s divided.
Each was designed by a different landscape architect. The Greenway, as a result, is an instructive little anthology of three different design goals, three different attitudes toward public space in the city.
