Providence—the capital of and largest<br />

city in Rhode Island—features a dramatic<br />

setting in which residential neighborhoods<br />

on surrounding hills overlook the<br />

waterfront of Narragansett Bay. During<br />

industrialization, railways and highways<br />

pierced the city and the resulting districts<br />

developed distinct, yet complementary,<br />

identities. To reinvigorate this postindustrial<br />

New England city, Providence<br />

2020 celebrates each district’s historical<br />

and architectural attributes while<br />

creating greater unity among them. The<br />

plan sets forth a flexible framework for<br />

development and encourages a network<br />

of pedestrian-friendly streets within<br />

former industrial lands and highway cort<br />
