Providence & Beyond
is a sustained inquiry into the future of this region. Our entry points
this year are two questions: Resilient Cities? Resilient Suburbs? We
choose these ways into the conversation because we believe our places -
cities, towns, villages - given adverse conditions like climate change
and post peak oil, will have to learn how to do a lot of springing back
after a lot of bending, stretching and compressing.
We enter this conversation not with answers or solutions, but with perspective, capabilities and passions. And by getting to know each other better, we can bundle our passions and capabilities and pursue some projects than can make a difference and help our places become more resilient. Providence & Beyond is organized around three interrelated aims: better thinking, better linking and better doing. Last year, members said: “we did good thinking and some linking. This year let’s dig deeply into linking and doing”…and that is the focus for the year. So we will engage in conversation to get to know each other better so we can partner to get things done for making places more whole. Our questions: What are our passions? What are our capabilities? What projects are we working on or want to start? What are our interests?
