Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper reframes our inquiry into downtown economic redevelopment by raising the question of whether downtown malls have an impact on citizens' feeling about their community. Unlike other studies that focus almost exclusively on objective economic indicators, we employ perceptual data to measure how a new downtown mall in Providence, Rhode Island affected citizens' shopping behavior, views about community spirit, and performance evaluation of the city's mayor. Drawing on data from a public opinion poll of Providence residents, we conclude that Providence's downtown mall has had positive economic spillover effects, heightened residents' civic pride, but had no significant effect on resident's views of the mayor's job performance. These and other of our results demonstrate that city boosters who justify such projects based on economic revitalization and the revival of community spirit are likely to have arguments that resonate with ordinary people.
