Historically,
the town center has always occupied a prominent role in cultural
life. People have lived, worked and thrived in and around
town centers for years. And yet, in the United States,
we've strayed from this culturally rich concept. With
the plethora of automobiles and land expansion the result was
sprawl. Evolving out of our instinctive need for a sense
of place and community are lifestyle centers. They encompass
a mix of eateries, shops and unique entertainment venues along
with unique residential and office space all set in an open-air
format. It is a return to the town center, where people
can meet up with friends, families and co-workers. That
is the inspiration for Providence Towne Centre. |
