Chinatown Neighborhood Plan

Our plan to strengthen Chinatown as a vital residential neighborhood, a destination commercial district, and a home away from home for immigrants across the city and region

Working closely with the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation (PCDC), we sought to bring together the voices and perspectives of the communities of Chinatown, Chinatown North, and Callowhill, with a targeted effort to engage a hard to reach low-income and immigrant population. 

With PCDC’s deep, on-the-ground presence and engagement, a strong community voice is the foundation for the plan that identifies actions to expand affordable housing, bridge the community across Vine Street Expressway, and create a more inviting public realm, providing more open space and programming for the community, expanding the commercial district north of Vine Street, and supporting community wellness.
