Progress for Providence: practical proposals to modernize parks, sewers, and public buildings
This concise polemic argues that Providence should grow healthier, more useful, and more beautiful. It lays out a vision where clean water, efficient streets, and a robust sewer system support a prosperous city. The author calls for timely, economical improvements and for bold public investments that boost quality of life for all residents. The text offers concrete steps, including reforming the sewerage approach, expanding public parks like Blackstone Park, and acquiring the Davis estate for recreation. It also advocates public-building enhancements, a new State House, and a central market to serve a growing city. Written as a public appeal, the work blends civic analysis with practical plans for lasting impact.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling vision for Providence, arguing for significant civic improvements to be undertaken without delay. The author, a prominent 19th century citizen and politician, analyzes what he sees as Providence's stagnation, arguing that the city has fallen behind due to a lack of bold action and vision. The author provides a wealth of specific recommendations, targeting the need for a new sewer system, establishment of rail terminals, the creation of new parks and boulevards, and the construction of public buildings that would reflect the city's stature. He decries the lack of attention paid to these issues by Providence's political leaders, and makes the case that such lethargy is shortsighted. The book concludes with a plea for Providence to make these changes, in order to attract new residents and businesses, enhance the lives of its existing residents, and help Providence reach its full potential as a prosperous, healthy, and increasingly beautiful city.
