Philadelphia is the first city to be chosen by the Knight Foundation to explore the ways “civic assets” or parks, libraries and other public spaces can be used to increase integration, build community and economic development and retain residents.  To test this theory, the Knight Foundation is planning to invest significant capital in five sites – Bartram’s Mile, East and West Fairmount Park, Lovett Library and the Viaduct Rail Park.
