Project Statement
'Envisioning Francisville's Future' is a comprehensive analysis and planning project based in the socially, economically, and physically degraded Philadelphia neighborhood of Francisville. Sophomore landscape architecture students undertook a unique, thorough process of studying and applying lessons from planning and design texts, local case studies, an extensive site inventory and analysis; community aspirations; sustainable initiatives, and the McHargian method of regional analysis to develop team-based transit-oriented development (TOD) master plans.
