ULI Philadelphia Selected as Urban Innovation Grant Recipient
The Urban Innovation Grant awarded to ULI Philadelphia is a state-wide study, to be undertaken by 10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania, ULI Philadelphia, and other partners, of Pennsylvania’s ten most populous metro regions that will demonstrate the economic development benefits of developing – and investing in – “walkable urban places” or “WalkUPS” where there are concentrations of younger workers, affordable housing, multiple transportation options and diverse employment opportunities. The aim of this research is to understand whether a structural shift in favor of more walkable urban development (which appears to be occurring in many metro areas in the country) is also happening in these urban areas of Pennsylvania, and to identify the benefits of establishing walkable urban centers.
