What we do

The Department of Planning and Development works in collaboration with communities to promote, plan, preserve, and develop successful neighborhoods for all.

Reaching these goals requires city agencies to work together with residents, businesses, developers, advocates, funders, and each other. Planning and Development has a team of agencies that do just that. Our agencies include:

We also partner with the PHDC.

Together we are charting a vibrant future for our city.

    The Philadelphia Historical Commission will resume meeting in person as of its March 14, 2025 meeting. The Historical Commission’s meetings will include a hybrid component so that applicants, property owners, and the public may attend in person or remotely on Zoom. The Historical Commission and its staff will attend in person. 

    The Historical Commission meets on the second Friday of the month in Conference Room 18- 029 on the 18th Floor of the City office building at 1515 Arch Street, across from Love Park at the northeast corner of 16th and Arch Streets. Visitors to the building must go through security in the lobby, including passing through a metal detector and showing a photo ID. Once through security, take the second bank of elevators to the 18th floor. Conference Room 18-029 is straight ahead out of the elevators, at the end of the corridor that runs south.

    Historical Commission on March 14, 2025, 9:00 a.m.
