Boston is an incredibly complicated set of cities, towns, and neighborhoods. Neighborhoods like the South End span Roxbury and Boston Proper. Currently, Povo maintains the "core geographic information" about cities, towns, and neighborhoods. However, we're creating the ability for you to draw new neighborhoods, parks, malls or other geographic things. Let us know if you have something in mind! Neighborhoods in Boston
