title: Boston building boom--is it an arms race?
abstract: A massive healthcare construction boom is under way in downtown Boston, prompting some observers to declare it a "medical arms race." Others, however, say the new projects are critical to some hospitals' ability to remain competitive. Whatever the case may be, there's big money involved--some $1.3 billion in projects that already have been started or soon will be.
