...poor alone do not make up Boston's population, nor must their problems be the sole concern of the New Bostonians. But until they confront the problems of poverty, discrimination, and education, their attempt to rebuild John Winthrop's "City on a Hill" will remain a futile experiment. Their symbol will be the Prudential Tower, graceless, sterile, out-of-scale, but nonetheless a tribute to Boston's ingenuity and progress, though hardly its humanity
