Cultural Planning for Urban Transit Corridors is a case study of the Providence Transportation Corridors to Livable Communities initiative, an innovative partnership between municipal and state arts, planning and economic development, and transportation agencies. The City of Providence Departments of Planning and Development; Art Culture + Tourism; and the Rhode Island Public Transportation Authority partnered to integrate arts, culture, and heritage into transportation planning, neighborhood development, and zoning. As more communities are planning for new or re-invigorated transit corridors and hubs, the Providence experience shows how full-fledged partnerships between cultural, city, transit and economic development planners can advance multiple community concerns at the same time.
