Mel King, whose work helped shape the city of Boston, has died. He was 94. King’s decades-long career included directing the New Urban League of Greater Boston, serving as a state representative beginning in the 1970’s, and teaching at MIT’s Department of Urban Studies.
Mel King sits at a desk. He's obviously very busy as there is a lot of paper on his desk and he is hard at work. He's wearing a short sleeved white shirt and a bow tie.

When it comes to shared electric scooters, New York has taken the slow lane. Now that the city has approved their use, many tech companies are hoping that the trend sticks. nyer.cm/dlACwgm
