WRT’s FDR Park Master Plan was recently profiled as a best practice in resilient design by ULI’s Center for Sustainability and Economic Performance.

A new master plan reimagines Philadelphia’s historic Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) Park as a vibrant and resilient community asset. City officials, community members, and experts contributed to a new vision of the 348-acre park that maximizes its potential to manage stormwater, mitigate extreme heat, and provide recreational and cultural amenities. The plan sets forth an ambitious strategy to become the first self-funding park in Philadelphia through public/private partnerships and innovative revenue generation strategies.
