It creates safe places to work and play, booming businesses, employment opportunities, and innovation that inspires the entire region.

Programs & Initiatives

Clean

You’ve seen our guys in orange along North Broad Street that’s helping to keep the neighborhood clean, and what you don’t see are the behind the scenes data efforts that’s helping us learn more about behaviors.

Maintenance, Landscaping and Capital Improvements

Just as important as implementation is ongoing maintenance and improvements. The need for maintenance of open and green spaces is a trending request from neighborhoods across Philadelphia. This is why the NBR was sure to include this in our next five-year plan.

Marketing & Communications

If we are going to pedestrian-friendly, successful, vibrant, highly desirable, diverse, mixed-use community, we need a plan that’s inclusive and benefits the full community. Find out how we are working towards this goal.
