Boston Squares is pleased to provide a wealth of information on all that Davis Square has to offer.

The City of Somerville capitalized on development of the new T station, from its earliest planning stages, as a catalyst for revitalizing Davis Square by promoting new commercial development and sponsoring other physical improvements, while working to maintain its traditional urban character. These public improvements have also catalyzed private reinvestment in the Davis Square's adjoining residential areas. The success of the redevelopment efforts are largely attributed to close cooperation between the many stakeholders in the process. These stakeholders included the City, local business people and residents, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), and numerous Federal and Commonwealth agencies.
