Based on over fifteen years of research, and drawing on interviews with scores of knowledgeable local informants, Transforming Providence: Rebirth of a Post-Industrial City, by Gene Bunnell, should be required reading for anyone searching for ways to make America’s older cities vital and desirable places to live and work. Residents, local government officials and private sector business leaders in cities that were once major centers of manufacturing and industrial employment will find Providence’s experience especially instructive.
Transforming Providence includes detailed and gripping accounts of the drama and intrigue that surrounded the remarkably ambitious and forward-looking projects that have physically reshaped downtown Providence. Other storylines also run through the book, underscoring the importance of initiatives undertaken by neighborhood residents, a diverse array of non-profit organizations and the local business community.
