Ri: An Exodus From The Cities, Chester Smolski
Ri: An Exodus From The Cities, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The numbers from the 1980 census are now starting to appear, and although some of the figures are preliminary, they still give an indication of trends. Until more detailed numbers become available in the spring, city and town totals for Rhode Island can now form the basis for some early analysis of changes over the past 10 years."
Changing Markets Require Different Style Of Houses, Chester Smolski
Changing Markets Require Different Style Of Houses, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It touches on the heartstrings and evokes a sense of nostalgia: the scene of father and mother sitting near the fireplace with the children playing at their feet. Here it is, the typical family at home, secure, stable, symbolic of the American way of life. But is this picture really accurate?
The Elderly: A Market Resource, Chester Smolski
The Elderly: A Market Resource, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The audience that came to hear the talk was distinctive. All of them were over 65, and nine out of 10 in the group of approximately 90 were women."
Providence Home Rule, Chester Smolski
Providence Home Rule, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The opposition bumper stickers have already appeared. In bright fluorescent colors to catch the unsuspecting eye, the message is loud and clear--'Reject Home Rule Charter.' Why should there be this opposition, and who are the people against this progressive move toward better local government?"
Suburban Sprawl Is A Tremendous Energy Waster, Chester Smolski
Suburban Sprawl Is A Tremendous Energy Waster, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Urban sprawl has been likened to a formless web of urban development that looks like Swiss cheese with more holes than cheese, and Gertrude Stein, in her inimitable style, once described one of these spread cities as 'There's no there there.'"
Cleaning Downtown Can Lead To Improved Services, Chester Smolski
Cleaning Downtown Can Lead To Improved Services, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The newly formed Downtown Providence Improvement Association has a simple goal--to clean the center of the capital city. The DPIA is taking on a commendable and necessary task, one which is long overdue, in what is likely one of the dirtiest and scruffiest downtowns in this part of the country.
Europe, Too, Feels The Auto Congestion, Chester Smolski
Europe, Too, Feels The Auto Congestion, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Examining cities in other countries can be most productive, especially once the euphoria of visiting these cities has worn off through repeated visits. One discovers that heavy automobile traffic, inadequate parking and polluted air are problems as common in Spanish cities as those in America, and after three visits to this country over the past 12 years, one discerns a marked deterioration in the quality of urban life resulting from the steel monster of this century--the automobile.
Stevenage--Pace Setter Among "New Towns", Chester Smolski
Stevenage--Pace Setter Among "New Towns", Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The British successful "great social experiment," going on for the past generation, is now coming to an end. This culmination is to be seen here in England's first, post-war new town, located 30 miles north of London in the rolling countryside of Hertfordshire, where the Stevenage Development Corporation has formally closed shop. For all pratical purposes, the construction of this urban center has ended."
Competition For Jobs, Chester Smolski
Competition For Jobs, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Where will the jobs be in the 1980s? Where are the best areas for potential economic growth in the next decade? What urban centers and states will be magnets to draw fellow Americans because of the promise of a better life? Based on a recent study, Chase Econometrics, a subsidiary of Chase Manhattan Bank, has forecast what it believes to be the answers to some of these questions."
Roger Williams Project-Potential Industrial Site?, Chester Smolski
Roger Williams Project-Potential Industrial Site?, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"In a neighborhood analysis done in 1969, the Providence Department of Planning and Urban Development stated it succintly: "The Roger Williams public housing project contains some of the poorest quality housing in the area."
A 2% Room Tax Would Help Providence Sell Itself, Chester Smolski
A 2% Room Tax Would Help Providence Sell Itself, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They've done it again! There it was as a feature story on page A14 of the April 7 issue, with pictures of the Arcade, Benefit Street and the mayor of the city included. The New York Times once more has singled out Providence, Rhode Island as a city on the move, one which is reclaiming its historical heritage and one which has a "resurgent city center.""
The Energy-Saving Cities, Chester Smolski
The Energy-Saving Cities, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Can Rhode Island automobile drivers survive on one and one-half gallons of gasoline a day? This is the target set by the federal government for the next quarter in its attempt to make us less dependant on foreign sources of petroleum."
Expert Sees A Revival Of Urban Church And The City, Chester Smolski
Expert Sees A Revival Of Urban Church And The City, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Douglas Walrath, recognized church consultant and author, was at the Epworth United Methodist Church in Pawtucket to address a recent conference of the Urban Ministry Division of the Rhode Island State Council of Churches on the topic of urban churches. At the end of the day, more than 100 who attended from throughout the Providence metropolitan area left the meeting considerably more optimistic about the future of their churches and of the urban centers in which they are located."
Energy Conservation For Cities And States, Chester Smolski
Energy Conservation For Cities And States, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"During this winter season the 68 percent increase in the price of fuel oil has made us painfully aware of our dependance on foreign oil."
Retailing Is Key To A Strong Downtown, Chester Smolski
Retailing Is Key To A Strong Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The future of Providence, if Rhode Island's capital city has a future, must be keyed to retail sales, all pols and pundits to the contrary. If Mayor Cianci, the City Council, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups really want an appealing city, one that hums with activity day and night, they have to redouble their efforts to put a solid economic footing under the still-eroding retail sector."
