"As anyone with a fourth-grade knowledge of biology understands, life comes into being through partnership. In the biology of cities, these partnerships form in pursuit of shared economic, intellectual, or political goals. These goals are accomplished by neighbors forming groups dedicated to pursuing a shared good life. If those partnerships fail to develop in a city, the first thing to do is fix the requirements for those partnerships. In the city, this first requires basic civic order. It then requires spaces in which partnerships can form and bear fruit. At this second level, Hillsdale Renaissance begins by restoring Downtown Hillsdale’s architecture and infrastructure."

Industrial Legacy vs. Urban Potential The Washington Avenue Corridor offers a fascinating mix of massive developments facing off against industrial supply companies. This intriguing juxtaposition stems from its historical roots as an industrial strip within the city. Today, it retains its industrial zoning, necessitating a rigorous variance process for any large-scale projects seeking approval. The question arises: should Washington Avenue maintain its industrial zoning, or should it evolve to include more residential and commercial spaces? What are your thoughts on the matter? #IndustrialVsResidential#UrbanDevelopment #HistoricalRoots #ZoningDebate #CommunityOpinions#CityPlanning #UrbanTransformation #MixedLandUse #UrbanEvolvement #IndustrialHeritage #philadelphia #PhillyRealEstate #philly

This type of result is just getting started. #zoning will be more and more important to established communities as new and more housing demands arise. These changes will be addressed through counsels. Rules and laws will be modified and changed to make way for both high-end and lower-end redevelopment (infill). Proximity to schools, parks, restaurants, civil service and utilities all play a roll in the desire for #newconstruction within locations where people want to live. #realestate https://lnkd.in/enC_Exqq
