Philadelphia 2040: Neighborhood Choice
May 5, 2009 neighborhoodchoice
The freedom to choose where and how one lives is central to healthy and vibrant communities. Philadelphia 2040: Neighborhood Choice envisions a new Philadelphia that extends that freedom of choice to all neighborhoods by making places where people want to live and making it easy for them to get there. Clustering retail, services and amenities around logical neighborhood centers like schools and developing secondary downtowns in districts outside Center City will enhance places where people want to live, work and play. Connecting neighborhoods to each other by building new high speed transit lines and weaving open space throughout neighborhoods eases the connection between home, work and other areas of the city. Anchored by the values that defined the founding of the city, these investments and interventions will transform Philadelphia into a city of neighborhoods with greater access, healthier environments, a stronger economy and livelier communities.
