Preservation Plan

The Preservation Alliance, in collaboration with the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, the Philadelphia Historical Commission, Penn Praxis and other partners, has initiated the first phase in the creation of a Preservation Plan for Philadelphia.  The first stage includes preparation of a strategic preservation plan based upon extensive public consultation, a statement of historic significance defining the important themes in the history of the physical development of the city and the development of a methodology for a citywide survey of built resources based on the use of the latest in technology.
