As I wrote about in my column a few weeks ago, PennPraxis, the UPenn design team contracted to create a community-based redevelopment plan for the Delaware water front, will shortly be releasing its findings. The presentation will be held downtown at the Pennsylvania Convention Center on Wednesday, November 14th. RSVP is required, here. Attendees are supposed to show up at 6:00 PM, but from what I’ve been told over 1,000 people have already registered, so you may want to show up early.

I can only reiterate what I’ve already said in my column. The central Philadelphia riverfront is a span of the city that is over half the size of Center City, and largely undeveloped. Furthermore, it is probably the largest span of undeveloped land that sits in proximity to our central commercial district. It is crucial to our future that we take advantage of this area, even if only because waterfront property routinely is the most valuable real estate. I encourage everyone who can to attend this survey and educate themselves about the potential our city has.
