Infill Philadelphia is a five-year initiative created by the Community Design Collaborative to promote workable, innovative design solutions to revitalizing older, urban neighborhoods.
The initiative will focus on infill development– the reuse and repositioning of obsolete or underutilized buildings and sites. Infill development is essential to renewing neighborhoods and knitting them back together.
Infill Philadelphia will be implemented in three phases, each focusing on a different aspect of infill development. Each phase will feature site-specific design projects; opportunities for public dialogue; and participation by community-based organizations, design firms, and local and national experts.
The Collaborative is grateful for funding from the William Penn Foundation to support the first phase of Infill Philadelphia. The initiative is also supported in part by the City of Philadelphia Office of Housing and Community Development.
