How can innovative design revitalize communities?
Infill Philadelphia explores key community development challenges in Philadelphia and other cities through design. Infill Philadelphia engages communities in re-envisioning their neighborhoods, leveraging existing assets, rethinking the use of older spaces, and addressing the practical concerns of specific sites and the communities around them.
The initiative's interactive programming – which can include exhibitions, charrettes, design competitions, and talks – brings designers, community members, community development experts, policymakers, funders, and the media together to discover new design solutions and new relationships.
Infill Philadelphia has addressed play space, green stormwater infrastructure, the reuse of industrial sites, food access, commercial corridor revitalization, and affordable housing.
