This document summarizes the transformation of downtown Providence, Rhode Island over the past 20 years through six major redevelopment projects: rail relocation, river relocation, downtown revitalization, the Providence Downtown Improvement District, downtown parks, and I-195 relocation. It notes that these projects have led to over $2 billion in private investment, 1,400 new housing units, and 38,980 jobs in downtown Providence. Key factors in its success have included developing a bold long-term vision, gaining consensus among stakeholders, strong leadership, cooperation across different levels of government and the private sector, and celebrating incremental successes.
The document discusses lessons learned from advocating for a pathway on the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. It summarizes the timeline of advocacy efforts from 2012-2017, which included rallies, press coverage, and meetings with transportation agencies. It also examines differences in pathway design standards and costs for various bridges. A key lesson is that cost estimates can vary greatly depending on an agency's risk tolerance and interpretation of design guidelines, rather than actual construction needs. Advocates need to push for more transparency and public input in the planning process to avoid overly costly designs.
This document summarizes concerns about the demolition of historic buildings in San Diego to make way for parking lots. It notes that the historic review board decision was reversed, community advisory committees were not consulted, proper notice was not given, and community plans calling for adaptive reuse and fine-grained development were ignored.

The Park East Freeway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin was only 0.8 miles long and underutilized, depreciating nearby property values. Local government boards and councils supported tearing it down to free up 26 acres for development. The area has since attracted $175 million in investment like a new mixed-use building, while a form-based code ensures compatible infill development and restoration of the urban fabric. Temporary art installations demonstrated the cultural potential without the freeway, and traffic now runs smoothly on the surface road that replaced it.

Why plan for growth and change, when it seems so much easier to simply react?
When there is a distinct and shared vision for your community - when residents, businesses and local government anticipate a sustainable town with cohesive and thriving neighborhoods - you have the power to conserve your beautiful natural spaces, enhance your existing downtown or Main Street, enable rural areas to be productive and prosperous, and save money through efficient use of existing infrastructure.
This is the dollars and sense of smart growth.
Success is clearly visible in Maine, from the creation of a community-built senior housing complex and health center in Fort Fairfield to conservation easements creating Forever Farms to Rockland's revitalized downtown. Communities have options. We have the power to manage our own responses to growth and change.
After all, “Planning is a process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.” - Richard I. Winwood
