Urban parks provide essential environmental and social benefits. These benefits are especially valuable in growing cities but are increasingly threatened by shadows cast by new developments. While shade from vegetation supports ecological health and thermal comfort, building shadows block sunlight entirely, which impacts ecological health and limits park enjoyment. Although Boston, MA, contains historic parks including the Boston Common, Public Garden, and the Olmsted-designed Emerald Necklace, the city lacks a standardized and citywide policy protecting these parks from building shadows.This thesis examines policies to protect sunlight in parks by regulating urban development to inform policymaking in Boston. Case studies of New York City and San Francisco reveal two different and effective policy models. New York uses the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) process to disclose shadow impacts along with other environmental reviews, while San Francisco's Sunlight Ordinance requires shadow analyses for certain projects.To create a sunlight protection policy for Boston's parks, this thesis recommends conducting a city-wide study of parks to understand land cover and uses, including consideration of non-vegetative sunlight-reliant resources such as historic landmarks, and setting park-specific shadow limits. Boston should include measures for shadow analysis and review within a comprehensive environmental review process and formally involve Boston's Parks and Recreation Department (BPRD) in planning and land use decisions. This will allow the city to better regulate growth and preserve sunlight access in its historic parks.
