On January 10, 2013 the Philadelphia City Planning Commission released our first annual update on Philadelphia2035 at an event at the Center for Architecture. The event, “The Future is Now: Philadelphia2035 Update”, sold out quickly and not only celebrated the accomplishments of the plan, but recognized the fifth class ofCitizens Planning Institute (CPI) graduates and announced that our “Integrated Planning and Zoning Process” is recipient of the American Planning Association’s 2013 National Planning Excellence Award for a Best Practice.

At the event, the annual update was handed out to all attendees. The update is organized as a calendar with lively colorful infographics illustrating the progress of the plan on a number of plan topics. Monthly spreads include transportation, open space, and historic preservation. The Philadelphia2035 calendar is available for download or if you would like to receive a FREE print copy (while supplies last!) please email phila2035@phila.gov  with your name and mailing address.
