    The Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia has a long and rich history. Once a bustling center for manufacturing and home to working-class families, the area experienced a significant decline due to factory closures. Today’s community has a different demographic, high unemployment, and many abandoned industrial buildings and residences.

    This field workshop will focus on recent revitalization activities by the New Kensington Community Development Corporation and D3 Developers through their reuse of former factory buildings and neighborhood rebuilding efforts. Staff from the Philadelphia City Planning Department will discuss the city’s current efforts of updating its comprehensive plan for Kensington.

    This is a bus and walking tour. Participants should dress for the weather and have appropriate footwear.

    Tour Leaders TBD
