This Built By Women crowd-sourced map is the collective effort of dozens of individual submissions. The map is a shared resource for both locals and visitors to learn about Boston and women’s contributions to its design. The entries are sorted by neighborhood, with a few suggested walking routes to take self-guided tours.

The goal of this map is to collect all our favorite women-designed spaces, parks, plazas, buildings, interiors, installations, public art—throughout the greater Boston area. If you see a missing entry, please let us know!

We'd like to hear from you!

We'd very much like to know: what is your favorite space designed by a woman, in your hometown? Share your entry today and be a part of this exciting project. Let's celebrate the power of women in design!

Please include the project name and address, the key woman/women contributors, a quick project overview, and a key link for more information.
