Culture Builds Community. 14. https://repository.upenn.edu/siap_culture_builds_community/14 The release of the John Street administration’s Neighborhood Transformation Initiative (NTI) in April 2001 marked a bold step by city government and the private sector to address the long-term problems of economic and social decline in the city of Philadelphia. The plan called for a differentiated strategy of public-private partnership with the goal of reinvigorating housing markets throughout the city. According to the NTI housing market analysis, more than four out of five Philadelphians lived in the bottom three market clusters—transitional, distressed, and reclamation. SIAP's Culture Builds Community inquiry was undertaken from 1996 to 2001 with support by the William Penn Foundation.

Housing Markets and Social Capital: The Role of Participation, Institutions, and Diversity in Neighborhood Transformation Abstract This paper examines the housing markets described in the Philadelphia Neighborhood Transformation Initiative (NTI), launched by Mayor John Street in April 2001, through the lens of social capital indicators.

  • Philadelphia Neighborhoods Or a Recommendation of Particular Resources
    A Guide to Philadelphia Neighborhood Resources for Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers, & their Families City of Neighborhoods: A Guide to Philadelphia Neighborhood Resources for Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers and Their Families (2007) Parents need to have a vision about where they see children participating and what they see them doing in the future. It is important for parents and professionals to have a vision of children participating in educational AND community-based opportunities. This guide focuses on assisting parents and professionals to envision a child in community-based opportunities. It is intended as a starting point to inspire thoughts about including children in community-based opportunities. Professionals can use it as a reference that can be carried with them as they visit children and families and work together with caregivers to identify general community resources that support the development and participation of all infants, toddlers and young children in everyday learning opportunities. A special thanks to the parents and professionals who contributed to the creation of the first edition (2002) of this guide and its 2007 revision: Mary Mikus, Suzanne Milbourne, Mary Muhlenhhaupt, Kimberly Rayfield and Jean Ann Vogelman. There are many comprehensive guides and directories that are available in Philadelphia to help professionals find a variety of resources for specific needs. This guide is not intended to replace the wide number of available resources. Nor, is it intended to be a comprehensive listing of all resources in all Philadelphia neighborhoods or a recommendation of particular resources.

  • Philadelphia's Housing Market Deteriorates Sharply in Q1
    Philadelphia’s Housing Market Moves from Red Hot to White Hot in Q4 Prices, Sales and Turnover accelerate…and Philadelphia’s Price Appreciation Surpasses Most US Cities February 24, 2021: 2020 may have been unpleasant for people, but not for houses. Here’s the latest numbers: • The average price of Philadelphia homes rose by 5.0% in Q4 on a quality- and seasonally- adjusted basis. This is a significant acceleration from the previous quarter’s rate of 0.7%. • Philadelphia’s house prices are currently up an average of 12.8% from one year ago (YoY). This increase is nearly triple the city’s historic annual average house price appreciation rate of 4.5%, and it is also an acceleration of the YoY increase of 8.4% that Philadelphia experienced in the previous quarter. The last time that Philadelphia saw such large double-digit appreciation was in 2006. • After breaking the $200,000 barrier for the first time in Q2, the median house price in Philadelphia broke another record by hitting $210,000 in Q4. This was just the second time in 12 months that Philadelphia broke this record. • Philadelphia is also outpacing most other large US cities…and by a large margin Philadelphia’s house prices increased by an average of 12.8% in 2020, while Case-Shiller’s 10-City composite house price index (which excludes Philadelphia) is up by just 9.8% during the same period. • Annualized (YoY) house price changes in individual submarkets continue to be uniformly positive—and also well above their historic averages—but were also generally higher in the outer neighborhoods than in the central ones.
