Abstract During the post-war period, Philadelphia has been through three periods of redevelopment activity. In the first, local public awareness of decline coupled with political reform led to numerous plans for major redevelopment projects. By the early 1950s, those projects were well underway, but population and business were declining. Beginning in the late 1970s public reinvestment waned to be replaced by privately-driven office development and gentrification. As the demographic economic context has stabilized, federal and state assistance has diminished. One result has been a shift towards project-centred economic development and away from comprehensive planning.
