Providence, R.I.: Independent spirit award
If you visit Providence, it's easy to pass by the hidden raptures of this small city with a big independent streak. So don't visit Rhode Island's capital city; move there.
PROVIDENCE'S WATERPLACE PARK voted one of the 10 Great Public Spaces for 2008
Great Places. You know them when you see them, but how do they become great? All the decisions we make influence the quality of our neighborhoods, streets, and public spaces.
Great Places in America
APA's flagship program celebrates places of exemplary character, quality, and planning. Places are selected annually and represent the gold standard in terms of having a true sense of place, cultural and historical interest, community involvement, and a vision for tomorrow.
APA Great Places offer better choices for where and how people work and live. They are enjoyable, safe, and desirable. They are places where people want to be, not only to visit, but to live and work every day. America's truly great streets, neighborhoods and public spaces are defined by many criteria, including architectural features, accessibility, functionality, and community involvement. >>>>
