What will Boston look like over the next 250 years?

Drawing on decades of reporting, he discusses how Boston can remain a global leader in innovation while adapting to changing technologies and industries. From expanding innovation districts and electrifying public transit to the future of news and business leadership, this conversation offers a compelling look at what's next for one of the world's leading knowledge economies.
