What is your Big Idea for Philadelphia?
Seeding Enterprise: A Socio-Ecological Approach for the Regenerative Redevelopment of the Logan Triangle
With Philadelphia's population soaring again and new development sweeping the city, we have an incredible opportunity to reimagine the approach to benefit stakeholders and citizens alike. Where traditional commercial development focuses on bottom-line profits and investor returns, a new model of regenerative development will prioritize the creation of complete neighborhoods, economic opportunity, and mechanisms for environmental repair. This model will focus not only on economic revitalization and job creation, but also on quality of life, human and ecological health, and the establishment of resilient and environmentally restorative infrastructure.
This presentation will introduce a proposal for the regenerative development of the long-vacant Logan Triangle, a 35-acre site on unstable soil in the Logan neighborhood of North Philadelphia. The site program would include a low-density mix of affordable, solar-powered tiny houses, agricultural facilities for growing and processing organic local food, and community amenities for recreation, healthcare, education, and gathering. Traditional linear flows of water, energy, and nutrients would be reorganized in self-sustaining, closed-loop systems on the site. By prioritizing economic revitalization, community health, and physical site restoration, this proposal for the Logan Triangle seeks to demonstrate a new model of regenerative urban development for Philadelphia and beyond.
