Description: 

In recent decades, cities across America have experienced demographic change, due in part to changing patterns of migration.  Immigrants are key members of their communities and have a greater level of self-employment compared to native born residents.  This report examines the revitalization of three Boston neighborhoods - Allston Village, East Boston, and Fields Corner - and the role that immigrant entrepreneurs have played in economic development.
