Providence Journal
Rhode Island's daily paper of record.
 
Forgotten Providence
Forgotten Providence is a documentation of decay of a city’s homes and neighborhoods;  A photographic essay in the use of building, structures, land, and environment; An account of homes and residences, long abandoned, and long forgotten; and An attempt to fix this problem as taken upon by the few, and open to all.
 
Art in Ruins
We at ArtInRuins believe that decay is beautiful, but not necessary. Artists live and work in the buildings that the city or developers have often forgotten, and now that Providence is becoming a hip town (or a suburb of Boston) these buildings and the artists, musicians and businesses who lived and worked in them are getting used for purposes that do not contribute to the community in the same way. We are not against new development, we are only opposed to unsustainable or irresponsible development.

Greater City: Providence
Greater City: Providence promotes the growth and development of the Greater Providence region in as urban a pattern as possible. Special focus is placed on the development of more walkable, affordable, and vibrant neighborhoods that are served by more robust mass transit and fueled by greater economic opportunity. We hope to see the Providence of the future is an urban environment and not a city plagued by inconsistent, uninspired, automobile-centric, and suburban-style development.
