Out of Love for Our Home State
Grow Smart RI is committed to helping improve the quality of life for all Rhode Islanders. Improving quality of life by improving neighborhoods and communities. We’re working “behind the scenes” conducting research and analysis, advocating and raising public awareness, developing policy and convening networks and partnerships working toward a stronger, healthier and just Rhode Island.
Our Future Depends on You
Without our statewide and local partners and supporters, our work isn’t possible. Join the smart growth movement today and help make our neighborhoods healthier and more resilient, opportunity-rich, and sustainable for everybody, everywhere.

Making Rhode Island
A Better Place
A place where sustainable growth and development benefits all, and not just the few.
Sparking New Energy and Vitality
Into Our Neighborhoods
We believe that revitalization breeds opportunities. We’re advocating for plans, policies, and projects that revitalize our town and city centers and make our transit system more robust. Along the way, economic development is always top of mind.
All While Protecting What Makes
Rhode Island … Rhode Island
There’s no place like home. Our built and natural assets help make Rhode Island a unique place. And that’s exactly why we’re committed to providing local and statewide support for policies and projects that not only preserve, but capitalize on what we have.
Introducing: Main Street RI
We have a brand new, grassroots initiative to provide support, coordination, communication, and capacity-building. It’s all aimed towards energizing our Main Streets — including its downtowns, corridors, and small businesses.
And you’re invited to be a part of it.
