...Chicago enriched its treasury by $1.8 billion by selling a 99-year lease of the Chicago Skyway to Spanish roads operator Cintra and Australian bank Macquarie. At about the same time, Texas bagged $1.2 billion to let a Cintra-led consortium build the first part of the Trans-Texas Corridor and collect tolls on it for 50 years. In 2006 Indiana signed a 75-year lease for the 157-mile (253 km) Indiana Toll Road in exchange for $3.8 billion, funding the state's transportation needs for the next decade--and grabbing the attention of other budget-conscious states...
...across the Charles. Over the next 50 years, Harvard will completely change the neighborhoods of North Allston and Brighton with its multi-billion dollar expansion. Already Harvard has had an enormous effect on the area by deciding not to renew the tenancy of many buildings along the Western Avenue corridor, effectively putting many Allston shops out of business. Most commonly, Harvard takes an “ends justify the means” approach to its practices, arguing that despite a few broken eggs along the way, the new campus will economically reinvigorate Allston and Brighton, attracting businesses much...

Residents should be able to watch a Red Sox live-feed from the comfort of JFK Park, the MAC Quad, the Pit, and the Mass. Ave. corridor. Jillson has yet to receive complaints from Square business owners about the slow progress of the project. “The technology now compared to last year has changed. It’s more readily available, less cumbersome, and being patient will result in a more reliable, less expensive product...
...important for both designers and visitors. If the exhibits work to educate by providing concrete information, the architecture functions in the opposite way, disorienting visitors with its abstraction and forcing aside any theories they might have developed to understand the history of Jews in Germany. A long, continuous, angular corridor breaks up a straight one, creating “voids”—dim, empty spaces—where the two meet. The sloping path of the Axis of Exile opens into the Garden of Exile, an enclosed outdoor space filled with tall, square concrete pillars. The Axis...
