A news entity covering planning and development issues in Philadelphia.
PlanPhilly is an independent news gathering entity affiliated with PennPraxis, the clinical arm of the School of Design of the University of Pennsylvania. Former reporters and editors from The Philadelphia Inquirer, as well as citizen journalists, provide daily news coverage of the built and planned environment.
PlanPhilly was created in 2006 to cover the Central Delaware Riverfront Visioning exercise and is funded through 2009 by the William Penn Foundation and the John S. Knight Foundation. We are in the process of creating an advisory board of journalists, philanthropists and citizens who will help the website develop a strategy for added growth and sustainability.
PlanPhilly.com is an attempt to actively engage Philadelphians in dialogue about the future of this great city. We want it to be a tool that educates and connects citizens, developers, business people and politicians alike in a discussion about what a world-class 21st century city should be.
