Parcel C was one of the last remaining developable plots of land in Chinatown. Owned by the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) as a part of a land swap with the New England Medical Center (NEMC), the land was promised to the Chinatown community for a community center. However, during the recession of the late 1980s, the BRA and NEMC changed course and proposed building a parking garage instead. This is the story of the epic struggle between these agencies and different community factions and its impact on Chinatown today. This video is a part of a series of educational videos.
