How can a city respond to the crisis of vacancy? Philadelphia, with over 40,000 vacant properties representing nearly 1,000 acres, has become one of the nation's foremost examples of urban abandonment and extensive sprawl. The competition sponsors invite participants to suggest compelling ideas for Philadelphia's vacant land and imagine fantastic long-term solutions that inspire change and reshape urban and natural forms throughout the
city.
The competition is sponsored by City Parks Association in partnership
with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the Pennsylvania
Environmental Council, and the Reinvestment Fund, and partially funded
by the City of Philadelphia Office of Housing and Community Development,
the Claneil Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the
Samuel S. Fels Fund.
REGISTRATION: September 7 - November 14, 2005
