Northern Liberties: A Renewal Inspiration                                            Northern Liberties Links

Although in Philadelphia just north of the Ben Franklin bridge, Northern Liberties actually lacks the easy, rapid public transit access that Camden has to Center City. And downtown Camden is actually closer to Center City Philadelphia than Northern Liberties. Yet Northern Liberties has rocketed to the top as a successful Renewal model.

Northern Liberties also faced blight and poverty similar to Camden. However, Northern Liberties overcame these deficits by concentrating on easy to implement, small project infill solutions while Camden concentrates on  large scale project grand slams.  While Camden has been swinging for the fence, Northern Liberties has been knocking in run after run by hitting a endless succession of "singles."
