Tacoma’S Lincoln District: Assessing And Improving Collaboration Between City Government And The Vietnamese Business Community, Julia Lin
Summer Research
Known as "The City of Destiny", the city of Tacoma and its government continue to build on urban planning projects in hopes of making the town a true destination city. Amongst the district roadway improvements, the extension of the lightrail, and the renovation project passed for the Tacoma Dome, the developers are in full flux. The funding has been passed and the construction in motion -- but what about the communities? This research aims to gauge the tensions that emerge within the relationship of community engagement and urban planning.

Smolski Texts
"At the national level it generates $416 billion in sales and employs over 6 million people, and in Rhode Island it generates $1.4 billion in sales and employs 28,000 people. Now the second largest economic activity here and throughout the nation, this 'industry' is one that many do not recognize."

Gigantic Malls Bring Downtown To Suburbia, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The recent opening of the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., has probably received more publicity than any other shopping center in the nation. This behemoth of shopping malls is certainly something to experience, but the real question is whether this $650 million investment has a future."
Seeing The City Through Suburban Eyes, Chester Smolski
Seeing The City Through Suburban Eyes, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"American cities are, in the minds of many, quite intimidating. They are congested, noisy, dirty, too difficult to drive in, and, of course, the home of muggers, rapists and murderers. For these and other reasons, too many people avoid the opportunities and fail to appreciate the joys that come with city experiences."
Invisible Industry, Visible Rewards, Chester Smolski
Invisible Industry, Visible Rewards, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The week of May 17 to May 23 appeared to be an ordinary one, but it was singled out at the national level as National Tourism Week and, in the state, as Rhode Island Tourism Week, in case you did not know, and it was recognized by both the governor and by the mayor of Providence at recent luncheons. Well, ho-hum, another of the many proclamations and paper awards that so often come out of these offices that few give them much attention. But this one should cause Rhode Islanders to sit up and take notice."
Hitting The Untapped International Tourist Market, Chester Smolski
Hitting The Untapped International Tourist Market, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It is the third-largest retailing operation in the nation with approximately five million employees. In New England it generates more than $620 million of state and local taxes annually. And in Rhode Island in 1986, it is estimated that $800 million was spent in this 'invisible industry.'"

Tourism's Full Potential Waiting In Wings For R.I., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Question: What industry in this country involves 8 million consumers daily, employs between 4 and 6 million people directly, generates nearly $200 billion in annual expenditures and is our second largest retailing activity? If you answered tourism, you are correct."

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.""
Beating The Drum For Tourists: Hartford Leads By A Mile, Chester Smolski
Beating The Drum For Tourists: Hartford Leads By A Mile, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"This capital city of the Nutmeg state is remarkably similar to Rhode Island's capital city both in terms of historical development and present day status. Bu there is one striking difference: the ability and commitment to 'sell' itself."
Impressions Of Providence, Chester Smolski
Impressions Of Providence, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"A recent Letter to the Editor of this newspaper pointed out part of the problem of our capital city. Whether one agrees with the writer or not, it is important to consider what he said because this is the image of the city which he carried away with him."
