Friendship, a duplex by Ultramoderne, occupies a previously vacant lot next to I-95 on Friendship Street in central Providence. The building grabs the attention of passersby with its black corrugated-metal facade.

@ProvPlanning @PVDMayor A lot of great changes here but why are setbacks being increased on narrow lots? This will make development of those lots more difficult, not less.

@zachmortice This is so important - cities can play a critical role connecting people thinking creatively about housing (and other design-related issues) from different side of the problem.

Fear of making public spaces inclusive and essentially developing more sophisticated ways to create exclusive and controlled public spaces is something for eveyone to keep an eye on. It's important to ask who is *not* able to easily enjoy the space if it is to be a public space.
