    PROVIDENCE 2020 may 2006 PROVIDENCE 2020 i ZHA | Barbara Sokoloff Associates | VHB Mayor of Providence David N. Cicilline I hope you fi nd this document as exciting as I do. In the pages that follow you will read about and see images of what our city may become. It is a future built on the best aspects of our past – reconnecting the city to the water, re-linking neighborhoods to the downtown, preserving our great stock or architecture, ensuring that transit serves a critical role in the life of the city, and creating superior public spaces. The goal of Providence 2020 is to provide a vision for coordinating and integrating the array of development opportunities in Providence. And given the unprecedented interest in our city and the unprecedented opportunities that will open up in the years ahead, a document of this type is critically important at this time. Providence 2020 details the principles that will guide us in the years ahead. The document spells out the priorities we will seek to achieve as we build and revitalize our city. It helps defi ne where development should take place, what the shape and character of development should be and what goals it should serve. It offers guidance for ways in which development can complement and promote public use and enjoyment of the city from streetscapes, to squares, to parks, to the waterfront. This is not a detailed blueprint of what Providence will look like in the future. That will unfold over time as projects are proposed and considered. But for those who want to make such proposals, this document provides the necessary guide.
