Reclaiming Penn's Landing
The Philadelphia Enquirer begins a five-part series on reclaiming Penn's Landing -- the city's waterfront. Previous plans have resulted in massive flops.
"Reinventing the Delaware waterfront won't come cheaply. If Philadelphia chooses to tackle the problem of the highway, it will likely cost hundreds of millions. The three agencies with an interest in the site - Penn's Landing Corp., the port authority, and the city Commerce Department - may have to give up ambitions for a large waterfront complex in order to achieve something residents will use, enjoy and cherish.Unlike Center City's other vacant real estate, Penn's Landing cannot be ignored. The waterfront is the place where Philadelphia's past and future come together - the river where the city was born and the promised land where a new neighborhood can rise, rejuvenating the entire city."
