Greening Philadelphia’s vacant lots and schoolyards

Greening Philadelphia

Find out how Temple University’s Center for Sustainable Communities is helping Philly create green stormwater and beautify blight in a new documentary produced by Temple students.

This short film highlights the Center for Sustainable Communities’ efforts to create green stormwater through a community-driven geo-design process in areas by 6th and Diamond Streets, Hostos Charter School, and Memphis Street Academy. The Project Team created a conceptual Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) plan for the study area and visualized three specific GSI project site plans, followed by three design charrettes conducted in three lower-income and minority neighborhoods.
