Analogous? I dunno. Boston is gorgeous, but it has the advantage of being swamped in universities the way that Hamilton is in factories. They have around 100 colleges and universities in their immediate area, many of them top-drawer schools like Harvard and MIT. That leads to an elevated standard of living (average household income there is almost twice that of Hamilton), but it also means that architectural heritage is closer to the core of the city's identity, and in fact the city's core in a more literal sense...
