Thesis (M.A.)--Tufts University, 2014.

In 2010, the City of Boston launched an effort on the South Boston waterfront to transform the area into the "Innovation District," an urban neighborhood that would attract innovative firms and nurture entrepreneurship. The initiative has been widely viewed as a success, but with that success has come rapidly rising rents and calls to expand the model to other Boston neighborhoods - both to provide more affordable alternatives for startup firms and to capitalize on the model's economic development potential. As policymakers explore potential options of expansion, this thesis first looks at the current innovative environment in Boston's neighborhoods, identifying through the existing literature a range of characteristics associated with the innovation economy and analyzing their intensity and spatial distribution in each neighborhood. Attention is then turned to an existing framework for multi-nodal business development in Boston: a set of 20 independent organizations collectively known as Boston Main Streets, which have a unique connection with the City of Boston. Through a series of interviews with executive directors of these organizations, this thesis provides insight into the organizations' current structure, their existing connections with the innovation economy, and future opportunities for such connections.
