Issues & Information

Zoning does matter and zoning reform is an exciting opportunity for the city. The work of the Zoning Code Commission can literally transform Philadelphia. A new zoning code that is fair, sensible and smart can help revitalize our communities, preserve the historic fabric of our neighborhoods, and promote the positive growth of our city.

Note: This section of ZoningMatters.org will grow and evolve as the work of the Commission proceeds in order to keep you informed and involved in this exciting opportunity for our City.
