  • Historic Context Statement for Lower Northeast Planning District 2012
    ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH AND CULTURAL HISTORY HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONSULTING HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR LOWER NORTHEAST PLANNING DISTRICT 2012 HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR LOWER NORTHEAST PLANNING DISTRICT EMILY T. COOPERMAN, PH.D. Geographical Summary The Lower Northeast Planning District (figure 1) lies inland (northwest) of the Delaware River waterfront at the point where the northeast and northwest sections of the city branch off from north Philadelphia. The Lower Northeast Planning District is characterized by relatively flat topography that rises gradually from the southeast to the northwest, moving away from the river. The Planning District is bounded on the southwest by the Frankford and Tacony creeks, and abuts Montgomery County on the northwest just south of the Tacony Creek as it turns to the northeast. The Tacony Creek becomes the Frankford Creek at the point where it historically met the Wingohocking Creek, which flowed east from Germantown and is now culverted, near the intersection of Tabor Road and Garland Street. Historically, the Little Tacony Creek flowed in several branches through the heart of the Planning District, meeting the Frankford Creek below where Erie Avenue is now located. Figure 1. Lower Northeast Planning District, outlined in black, with the area previously studied shown in gray LOWER NORTHEAST PLANNING DISTRICT HISTORIC CONTEXT – PAGE 1 ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH AND CULTURAL HISTORY HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONSULTING HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR LOWER NORTHEAST PLANNING DISTRICT 2012 Introduction The Lower Northeast Planning District can be divided into three general zones that developed at different rates. The settlement and industrial village of Frankford, which was studied in the Historic Context Statement for Neighborhood Cluster 1 (2008-2009), was the historic town center of the Planning District and was one of several such urban concentrations that developed in Philadelphia’s former county before the 1854 Consolidation.

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.

  • 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.
