About
PlanPhilly is a six-year-old 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 June 2012 by the William Penn Foundation. We cover development, planning, preservation, parks and recreation, the waterfront and transportation. We have partnerships with the Public School Notebook, Technically Philly, NewsWorks, and Philly.com.
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.
Through the website we will stay in touch with you and keep you posted on the progress of current projects. If you would like to be involved, please sign up on the left.
PlanPhilly.com is a project of PennPraxis, the clinical arm of the School of Design of the University of Pennsylvania. -
