Exploring Pathways to Community Safety and Restorative Justice in Eastwick, Philadelphia

报告摘要：Eastwick United Community Development Corporation (CDC) and the Office of Sustainability of the City of Philadelphia engaged with ULI Philadelphia for a Technical Assistance Panel to help develop a plan for improving the safety and well-being of Eastwick neighborhood residents who currently live in a floodplain and have experienced severe, repetitive flooding. Working in partnership, Eastwick United CDC and the Office of Sustainability were interested in exploring the idea of a land swap arrangement that would allow the most at-risk homeowners in the neighborhood to relocate to new housing on a currently undeveloped parcel of land owned by the City of Philadelphia and situated on higher ground within the Eastwick neighborhood.
