BLIGHT CERTIFICATION AND REDEVELOPMENT AREA PLAN REPORTS The City Planning Commission has legal responsibilities related to redevelopment and urban renewal. Urban renewal involves the condemnation of land and buildings for public purposes, including neighborhood and economic development, and is primarily carried out by the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Philadelphia. The City Planning Commission is responsible for determining areas eligible for urban renewal, and for reviewing urban renewal plans and proposals as they are developed by the Redevelopment Authority. Before urban renewal can occur in an area, the City Planning Commission must establish a "Redevelopment Area." These areas are established by certifying an area as "blighted," according to criteria in Pennsylvania Urban Redevelopment Law, and by the preparation of a Redevelopment Area Plan. The Redevelopment Area Plan establishes goals for future development along with recommendations pertaining to land use, zoning, and site planning. The Blight Certification and Redevelopment Area Plan reports listed below are presented as Portable Document Format (PDF) files that can be viewed with your Web browser.
