A New Urbanist Plan For Reusing Philadelphia's Navy Base

For all the attention lavished on the 13 measly acres at Penn's Landing, this spectacular waterfront property may turn out to be more crucial to Philadelphia's future... There is a circular drive linking the offices to Broad Street, and a diagonal boulevard establishing a visual connection between the offices and the river. Stern, who laid out Celebration, Fla., based the boulevard on La Rambla in Barcelona, Spain.These are more than flourishes. The plan is denser and more urban than the other proposals, and includes parking garages, shops and restaurants to serve the new white-collar workers who are expected to occupy the offices."
