Who We Are
The Providence Urbanist Network organizes area residents to promote more housing, greater density and mixed-use construction, and more non-car transportation options. Our membership includes renters and homeowners, students, workers, and retirees, people who don’t have cars and those who rely heavily on cars for transportation. Outside of PUN, our members participate in a range of other community involvement.
