Downtown Malls: A Means To An End, Chester Smolski
Downtown Malls: A Means To An End, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It has been a trying year for downtown Providence merchants. Roads that too long have been neglected are being repaired and a Westminster Mall is in the process of getting a new facelift. Dirt, dust, noise, hazardous walking and a general inconvenience have deterred potential shoppers from using downtown shops, and this is reflected in reduced sales."
'Down City' Has Gone Downhill, Chester Smolski
'Down City' Has Gone Downhill, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"There is essentially only one downtown in this city-state of Rhode Island, and it is accessible to the entire state in less than one hour's driving time. Yet over the past 10 years the Providence downtown has been in a steady decline, with a limited selection and lowered quality of goods offered from fewer shops. The familiar names of a few years ago, such as Shepards, Gladdings, City Hall Hardware and others, no longer serve as retail focal points in the captial city's central business district (CBD)."
Loss-Leaders For The Inner Cities, Chester Smolski
Loss-Leaders For The Inner Cities, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The Wall Street Journal has called it 'the latest war between the states.' It is a tool long used by Southern cities and states that only now is being utilized in the Northeast and Midwest. And it has been used by the city of Providence at the Biltmore Plaza.
Opportunity For Productive Land Use In Weybosset Hill Renewal Project, Chester Smolski
Opportunity For Productive Land Use In Weybosset Hill Renewal Project, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Recent proposals submitted to the Providence Redevelopment Authority for the development of "parcel 4" in the Weybosset Hill Urban Renewal Project have raised some interesting ideas as to the best use of that site."
Would A Westerly Mall Benefit The Entire Town?, Chester Smolski
Would A Westerly Mall Benefit The Entire Town?, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It is the largest urban center in southwestern Rhode Island but, in reality, it is just a small town with a population approaching 20,000. A good example of small-town America, it is an attractive community and one in which residents take a good deal of pride."
Those Inner City "Magnets" Are A Big Draw, Chester Smolski
Those Inner City "Magnets" Are A Big Draw, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"His firm was the first to build the enclosed shopping malls that we find scattered throughout the suburbs today. It brought symphony orchestras and art museums into these malls. It was the first to provide extensive landscaping to these regional shopping centers, and which the company strives to make into community centers as well as centers of retail activity. And the most successful new town in this country, built completely with private funds, is the work of this company."
Baltimore: A City On The Move, Chester Smolski
Baltimore: A City On The Move, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"On the way to Washington D.C. one drives through a part of America's seventh largest city and, based upon the popular image of this city, there is no reason to stop in Baltimore. But if one does stop, he would be surprised and impressed by the dynamism of a city on the move."
City Need Is Jobs For Young, Chester Smolski
City Need Is Jobs For Young, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 was a landmark piece of legislation which continues to benefit communities in need. Over the past three years Providence has received close to $27 million which has been spent to improve housing, parks and historic buildings in addition to building and servicing community centers. The focus of this major legislation was on physical and social improvement of the community. The one unprovided area was economic development."
Jacksonville's Commitment To Downtown, Chester Smolski
Jacksonville's Commitment To Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The largest city in the Sunshine State is quite different from the cities we know in the Northeast, especially in its downtown."
Soul City Deserves To Succeed, Chester Smolski
Soul City Deserves To Succeed, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream--a dream of equal opportunity and justice for all. An assassin's bullet prevented him from realizing his dream. His friend and well-known leader in the civil rights movement also had a dream--a dream to build a new town in which the injustices of society would be lessened. Today, in the rolling farmland country of North Carolina, Floyd McKissick is working to fulfill his long sought dream."
Interorganizational Considerations In Coastal Management: The 1976 California Legislative Experience, Herman L. Boschken
Interorganizational Considerations In Coastal Management: The 1976 California Legislative Experience, Herman L. Boschken
Herman L. Boschken
Among coastal management programs, most states have found the question of appropriate administrative structure difficult to cope with. The dilemma of decision trade-offs caused by the dual governmental needs of "efficiency" and "representation" has led to some alternative patterns of administration. For complex issues that transcend local boundaries, the choice between trade-offs means adopting either (a) some form of consolidated bureaucracy or (b) some system of concurrent jurisdictions. Both alternatives have their inherent benefits and disadvantages but, considering the degree of environmental complexity and array of competing interests involved in coastal resource use, the most appropriate administrative form would seem …
