A person does not need to know the intimate or factual circumstances associated with those words to understand their symbolism.

There are available resources and organizations located across the North Philadelphia area. My group members and I focused on the surrounding areas of 22nd and Lehigh. At that intersection there lies Dobbins High School and behind it, a park called x. There a neighborhood shopping center and there are many corner stores. Commuters are able to use SEPTA, Philadelphia’s transportation system. There are buses and subway train stations that are walking distance from this intersection. There are also abandoned houses and factories in blocks radius. We figured that once we took the opportunity to walk through and analyze the community that it would reveal many more resources available.

Revitalization efforts in downtown areas have gained momentum over the past few decades, this paper is focused on revitalization strategies, recognizing the process of decline, while identifying key strategies used in downtown revitalization efforts over the past fifty years (Faulk 2006).
