If you like David Macauley, and knowing how things work, if you like the Discover Network and Google Earth and maps and blueprints and the changing skyline, you’ll love, Greater City: Providence.

Greater City: Providence promotes the growth and development of the Greater Providence region in as urban a pattern as possible. Special focus is placed on the development of more walkable, affordable, and vibrant neighborhoods that are served by more robust mass transit and fueled by greater economic opportunity. Our energies are initially being spent on the upcoming zoning and planning process to ensure that the Providence of the future is an urban environment and not a city plagued by inconsistent, uninspired, automobile-centric, and suburban-style development.

Greater City has reporting, cool graphics and provocative ideas. Providence is a human scale city with deep roots and high aspirations. So much has changed in twenty years. What will the next decade bring?
