The Jackson Square Redevelopment Initiative is a community led project to develop an abandoned piece of land with affordable housing and community resources in a minority and income impacted neighborhood in Boston, MA. The land Jackson Square resides on was demolished for an interstate that was never built in the 1970s. Today, the project is one of the largest , and most successful, community driven developments in the country.

Big dig, or the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CA/T) is a mega-project in Boston, Massachusetts and it’s considered one of the biggest civil engineering projects in USA. It consist of several project tasks, including the depression of Boston’s Central Artery (I-93) and the construction of a 3rd tunnel to Logan Airport under the Boston Harbor. It mainly aims to alleviate the pressure of I-93 traffic.

Syracuse's 1.4-mile stretch of the I-81, which is raised above the city and cuts through downtown, is posed for a new transition. While once displacing disadvantaged communities, officials have drafted plans to tear down the crumbling interstate and create a street-level grid to repair broken communities and create a revitalized urban core. The project is currently paused due to lawsuits from local groups questioning the impacts of such a decision and if it will really improve the area or cause more generational impacts.
