Andres Duany will lead a design workshop to help improve Providence's Downtown area.

"Architect Andres Duany, the apostle of New Urbanism and the patron saint of Downcity, will return to Providence to put some more flourishes on plans for Downcity, Mayor David N. Cicilline announced last night. Duany will guide civic leaders in a weeklong charette, or design workshop, this spring to brainstorm improvements for the Westminster Street corridor and ways to better connect greater downtown to surrounding neighborhoods, the mayor told the annual meeting of the Providence Foundation."
