Abstract:

This paper is part of a bigger study on Lawrence Halprin, conducted through the analysis of his personal archives present at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and the Seattle’s City archives, together with trips and dedicated surveys for some of his projects. Many of Halprin’s urban projects are culturally linked to the 60s and 70s: the assassination of Martin Luther king Jr in Memphis and of Robert Kennedy in Los Angeles, the student protests against the Vietnam War, and the subsequent occupying of university campuses, and the violent clashes between protesters and the police.

Abstract:

On November 21, 1903, the Pennsylvania Railroad announced that its north-south through trains would no longer enter Broad Street Station in downtown Philadelphia and would stop instead at West Philadelphia. Nor would the company sell tickets from that station to downtown. These schedule changes, which seemed minor to the company and were intended to reduce congestion in the central city, threatened downtown merchants and manufacturers who worried that buyers would shift to more accessible cities. Philadelphia had been sidetracked, theNorth Americanreported. The result was an eruption of boycot

Abstract:

In the United States, the endowments of non-profit research universities are climbing into the 8-figures and the wealth disparity between research universities and their home cities are becoming increasingly evident. Some of these universities are calling to their community engagement initiatives, including service-learning programs, as substitutes for direct monetary contributions to their home cities. This research article seeks to investigate the extent to which the University of Pennsylvania devotes its institutional resources to support its service-learning program, Academically Based Com

Abstract:

Safe Start is a community health worker program representing a partnership between a high-volume, inner-city, hospital-based prenatal clinic; a community-based organization; a large Medicaid insurer; and a community behavioral health organization to improve perinatal outcomes among publicly insured pregnant women with chronic health conditions in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As of June 2019, 291 women participated in the program. Relative to a comparison group (n = 300), Safe Start participants demonstrate improved engagement in care, reduced antenatal inpatient admissions, and shorter neonatal

Abstract:

The pedestrian countdown signals (PCS) treatment involves the display of a numerical countdown that shows how many seconds are left in the flashing DON’T WALK interval. Although many studies have attempted to evaluate the safety of PCS, the results have been inconsistent for many reasons, including inadequate sample size and the inability to control for possible bias from regression to the mean and from exposure. This study performed a before-after empirical Bayes analysis using data from 115 treated intersections in Charlotte, North Carolina and 218 treated intersections in Philadelphia, Penn

Abstract:

Many women and women-run associations were involved in historical urban beautification in the United States, especially tree planting, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While men had formal roles as city foresters, arborists, horticulturalists, and landscape architects, women from elite families sometimes labored for free to organize and advocate for urban tree planting. Tightly knit social circles of high-society women in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, yielded much greater influence in nascent tree planting and park creation movements than has generally been recognized. They often contr

Abstract:

The conventional streets of major cities are often designed with rights-of-way that are channelized with physical delineation for different modes. Shared, or curbless, streets represent a new approach to using the public right-of-way where physical edges and sometimes demarcations are removed. All modes share space and negotiate movement through interaction. Various cities have deployed curbless streets in different ways, for different reasons, and with different outcomes. This paper examines curbless street design as a concept and as an opportunity for cities. The effect of curbless street de

Abstract:

Abstract The hard coal district of eastern Pennsylvania was an important industrial center in the nineteenth century. But it was far from the urban paradigm often associated with the industrial revolution. Its cities and towns were separated by long stretches of rural and semirural landscape, much of it mountainous and heavily wooded. Molly Maguireism could never have taken hold in cities like New York or Philadelphia; but the unique geography and topography of the anthracite region were ideally suited to the adaptation to American soil of violent practices derived from the Irish countryside.

In some cities the revival has just begun or is progressing slowly. Revitalization in Philadelphia and Detroit, for example, has been limited to a relatively small number of neighborhoods. Unlike other large cities, Philadelphia and Detroit are still evolving away from the original industrial economies th

It was obviously disheartening to him to see how many well-meaning individuals in Philadelphia’s white community had been won over by the American Colonization Society’s propaganda. Forten’s lawyer, Richard Peters, had given the ACS his grudging support. Bishop William White, his denomination’s spiritual leader in Pennsylvania, had endorsed it. Even the likes of abolitionist Roberts Vaux had been convinced. What Vaux found so repugnant in 1820 he had come to see as a necessary i

Abstract:

Abstract Delineation of land is the creation of titles. Most of the dry surface of the Earth is delineated to some degree. The exact degree is predictable by a simple criterion of property-rights analysis: if the benefits are greater than the costs, then the land is delineated and a boundary emerges. The effect of delineation is a reduction in negotiation costs. Uncertain boundaries dampen the incentives to invest in land potentially under dispute. In such cases, ownership over the value added to the land may some day have to be negotiated. For example, no homeowner should enclose his yard wit

The practice of redlining in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has caused environmental injustice in ways that might not have been obvious at that time however there are neighborhoods that are still affected by this practice. These areas have the lowest median household incomes, lowest life expectancies, and highest population of African American people compar
