In addition to specific projects, programs and plans, the Community Planning division is providing services every day and every week -- in all the neighborhoods of Philadelphia.

Neighborhood Planning: research, analysis, coordination with other agencies. Understanding the City in a “neighborhood context.” Review of zoning variances.

Redevelopment Process: review of urban renewal actions; establishing eligibility for urban renewal; community input.

Citizen Participation: liaison with community organizations; technical assistance in zoning, planning and government.

Relationship Managers: forging working relationships with a variety of partners; networking. Community Planners are also called upon to resolve disputes. In this regard, the planners promote compromise between civic groups and developers (sometimes for zoning changes or variances).
