Development Is Different For Cities, Chester Smolski
Development Is Different For Cities, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It is one of the most powerful trade organizations in the country. The 13,000 members come from the legal, realty, building, financial, governmental, academic and development sectors, and many are CEOs and presidents of their companies and corporations. Most are or represent the decision-making leaders of their various constituencies, and they are the ones who make things happen in the land development of this country. So when the Urban Land Institute (ULI) meets to discuss the issues affecting this nation, one is well-advised to be there."
Glory Days Of Suburbia Are Over, Chester Smolski
Glory Days Of Suburbia Are Over, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Most Rhode Islanders would undoubtedly agree with Donald Wyatt's sterling endorsement of suburbia (Commentary Page, Sept. 7) and many would envy the wonderful experience he says he has had living in Warwick these past 40 years. After all, the suburbs are the habitat of most Rhode Islanders as well as most other Americans and, it sis presumed, these folks live there through choice."
Coping With Car Congestion, Chester Smolski
Coping With Car Congestion, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Ah, the joy of the automobile! Driving with the windows closed to eliminate outside noise and to get the full effect of the four-speaker stereo while listening to Sibelius, Brooks or Franklin, depending on one's taste; sitting in seats more comfortable than those in the living room at home; and taking in the colorful foliage along this country road in the rural wester part of the state where we are the only car on the road--how could life be any better??
Making American Cities Work, Chester Smolski
Making American Cities Work, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Visiting a city in a foreign country can be revealing about the culture of that country, can make one realize that cities are places of enjoyment and fulfillment, and that people prize living in them. From such experiences one has to ponder why American cities cannot be viewed in the same manner."
Let's Get Excited About Our City, Chester Smolski
Let's Get Excited About Our City, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Suppose that you wanted to introduce a group of students to Providence, where would you take them? To the East Side? To the Brown campus and the RISD Museum? To the constantly changing Capital Center and waterfront? to the entertainment and artistic performances found in the downtown? And would these visits give a fair appraisal of the city's character?"
Providence: Visionary And Bold, Chester Smolski
Providence: Visionary And Bold, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Future historians who examine Rhode Island's capital city will likely single out the last 20 years of this century as the most explosive period of construction and change for the city center that has ever taken place during Providence's long history."
The Mobile Society, Chester Smolski
The Mobile Society, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Americans are a highly mobile society: One in six American moves every year. This is nearly twice the rate of Britain and almost three times that of Japan and Ireland."
Providence's Unending Quest For Cash, Chester Smolski
Providence's Unending Quest For Cash, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The mayor of Providence has a big problem. How can he balance a budget that addresses the needs of an increasingly large number of people, yet deal with a declining tax base that is less able to pay for theses extra services?"
Why Not 'Soak' The Visitors?, Chester Smolski
Why Not 'Soak' The Visitors?, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Providence Mayor Vincent Cianci has a financial problem, which is not uncommon these days for just about any mayor. Center cities are faced with a host of problems that require sizable expenditures to address. And with the downturn in an economy making a feeble effort to recover, available resources are in scarce supply."
What's In Store For Social Security?, Chester Smolski
What's In Store For Social Security?, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Health-care costs are commanding considerable attention these days. From Washing, D.C., to Providence and state capitals across the nation, the burning questions are, "How much?" and "Who pays?""
Bringing Geography To Life!, Chester Smolski
Bringing Geography To Life!, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When Gil Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic Society, called a meeting of Kit Salter and other geographers from California nearly a decade ago, he had no idea that the discussion would have a profound impact on the teaching of geography in the nation's schools."
Rhode Island Is Bigger Than Nauru, Chester Smolski
Rhode Island Is Bigger Than Nauru, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It's not easy being the smallest kid on the block. Taunting and joking about ones small physical stature can do an awful job on one's ego and self-esteem. In a sense, the same is true if one is a resident of the smallest state."
Ethnic Mix Enriches Culture, Chester Smolski
Ethnic Mix Enriches Culture, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Rhode Island is unique. It is the smallest state in the country, has a different religious majority, has one of the oldest populations and has one of the largest varieties of ethnic groups in the country."
How Goes The American Dream?, Chester Smolski
How Goes The American Dream?, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Americans are a hard-working lot. The ambitious American worker has fewer holidays, less vacation time and other benefits than Western Europeans. They are well-rewarded for their pursuit of the American dream. Home ownership rates in this country are among the highest rates in the world. The typical American worker has more cars and more kitchen gadgets, electronic hardware, recreational gear and more computers in his home than any other worker in the world."
