City Land Bank Would Promote Industrial Development, Chester Smolski
City Land Bank Would Promote Industrial Development, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"On the 19th of May, in the city of Providence, 200 properties were offered for sale to the public. These were properties on which owners were in default of taxes and which the city hoped to sell in order to get them back on the tax rolls, as well as to collect back taxes. Only 21 of the properties were sold."
A New Park To Give The Downtown A Lift, Chester Smolski
A New Park To Give The Downtown A Lift, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
The recent discussions on the proposal for an auto-restricted zone in Kennedy Plaza have centered essentially on one idea: should this area continue to be used for cars and parking space or should it be turned over to pedestrians, with limited auto access, increased bus usage, and fewer parking spaces?
Rhode Island Has A Large Stake In Its Capital City, Chester Smolski
Rhode Island Has A Large Stake In Its Capital City, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"If you are number two, you try harder. But what do you do if you are number four? Figures recently released by the United States Census Bureau estimate that Providence lost 11,000 persons between 1970 and 1975, and now ranks as the fourth largest city in New England."
Vacancy Chains And Intra-Urban Migration, Donald Rundquist
Vacancy Chains And Intra-Urban Migration, Donald Rundquist
Department of Geography: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
American society is a very mobile one, with approximately twenty percent of the populace changing its place of residence every year. It has been estimated that over two-thirds of all moves take place within the city. Geographic studies of intra-urban migration generally treat the relocations as either 1) movement from one areal unit to another, such as inter-census tract flows, or as 2) individual-level, unrelated moves between respective origins and destinations. In reality, however, each change of residence is one part of a much longer sequence of changes.
This thesis examines intra-city moves within the framework of their real-world linkage …
Don't Be Too Quick To Dismiss Pedestrianized Malls, Chester Smolski
Don't Be Too Quick To Dismiss Pedestrianized Malls, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The recent proposal to close off parts of the Kennedy Plaza and Dorrance Street to automobile traffic and transform autoways to pedestrian use has raised an important question: What would be the impact on downtown stores if this proposed auto resticted zone (ARZ) were implemented?
Providence Needs More Than Parking Space, Chester Smolski
Providence Needs More Than Parking Space, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The automobile has made us highly mobile. Today we think nothing of driving 30, 40 or 50 miles to do different kinds of shopping. The success of suburban malls attests to this fact: with good access from interstate and highways, these asphalt oases have sprung up like mushrooms throughout our suburban areas. And with few exceptions, they have successfully fulfilled the single function for which they were intended--retailing.
Saving Valuable Resources, Chester Smolski
Saving Valuable Resources, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"At last, its time has arrived! After years of talking, viewing, writing, and field tripping, someone is finally listening to those select few who saw the architectural, historical, and, today, economic value of saving and restoring our old buildings."
Make The Full Investment In Downtown Renewal, Chester Smolski
Make The Full Investment In Downtown Renewal, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Just how much money is the city of Providence willing to invest in revitalizing its downtown? The answer to this question is soon to be given when the City Council acts on the recommendations of the Committee on Urban Redevelopment headed by Councilman Ralph R. Fargnoli. the committee voted Wednesday in favor of a $6-million downtown renewal project."
This Mini-State Needs The Land Use Plan: Viewpoint, Chester Smolski
This Mini-State Needs The Land Use Plan: Viewpoint, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The most significant bill to come before this session of the General Assembly will be introduced soon by Governor Noel. The proposed bill to establish a state-local land management program merits the close scrutiny of all citizens of this state. Not only would this program have an immediate effect on Rhode Island, but the full impact of this farsighted bill would fall on succeeding generations."
City Parks Are For People: Viewpoint, Chester Smolski
City Parks Are For People: Viewpoint, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It has been claimed that urban parks are "the lungs of the city," supplying, as they do, breathing space in a harsh concrete and asphalt enviornment. Parks also provide a sense of nature with trees, grass and flowers in a serene and peaceful setting."
Time To Appoint A City Artist, Chester Smolski
Time To Appoint A City Artist, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"During the past several weeks, while Providence's new mayor has been sorting out priorities and charting new directions for the first new administration in a decade, a plethora of suggestions has been advanced for ways to make Providence a better place in which to live."
Revitalization, Chester Smolski
Revitalization, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When he was campaigning for election to the presidency of this country, Abraham Lincoln made a rash promise. Detailing his ideas on giving freedom to black slaves to an unsympathetic audience, Lincoln was confronted by a white heckler from the rear who shouted, "Yes, but what are you going to do for me?"

A Study Of The Development Of The Recreation Department Of Stockton, California, Margaret Fitzgerald Coston
A Study Of The Development Of The Recreation Department Of Stockton, California, Margaret Fitzgerald Coston
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Stockton is a city suffering from the sudden realization that it is no longer a small farm town, end that in the process of becoming a moderate-sized city, a community faces inevitable growing pains.
The municipal recreation phase of city government well illustrates this fact. Because of the great need for expansion in this field, and because the city is now just beginning to rise to meet the occasion, a study of the Recreational Department and the program of the Metropolitan Recreation Commission in Stockton City Government and San Joaquin County, is a particularly interesting activity.
In contrast to many …
