The Greater Philadelphia Region is an area rich in history and prosperity. As
the sixth largest metropolitan center in the United States, the region offers an
extensive array of cultural, educational, historical and recreational facilities.
From Philadelphia’s position in the center of the Eastern Megalopolis to its di-
verse economy, the Greater Philadelphia region is poised for continued growth
and prosperity.
Chinatown
Philadelphia’s Chinatown neighborhood stretch-
es from Vine Street on the north to Arch Street on
the south, and from North Franklin Street and
North 7th Street on the east to North Broad Street
on the west. Unlike some other traditional China-
towns, the Philadelphia Chinatown continues to
grow in size and ethnic Chinese population, as
Philadelphia itself is experiencing significant
Chinese immigration from New York City, 95
miles to the north, and from China, the top coun-
try of birth by a significant margin sending immi-
grants to Philadelphia.

Vine Street is the northern boundary of Chinatown. Restaurants and shops, with apartment units located above, are in the buildings south
of Vine street, within Chinatown. Factories and other industrial properties are located on the other side of Vine Street. Filbert Street serves
as the southern border. Chinatown includes a core area that has seven city blocks.

Developments in the 20th century formed the current boundaries of the Philadelphia Chinatown. In the 1920s, ramps leading to the Ben
Franklin Bridge were constructed at Chinatown's northern edge. At another point, the city condemned an area east of what is now China-
town so that the new headquarters of the Philadelphia Police Department, Independence Mall, and a hospital could be constructed. At one
point the city proposed building an eight-lane highway that would divide the Philadelphia Chinatown into two parts and eliminate the
Holy Redeemer Church and School. The church and school remained, while the Vine Street Expressway, smaller than its original pro-
posed size, was built.

The construction of the Market East Station in the 1970s and 1980s established Filbert
Street as Chinatown's southern border. As a result of the construction of the Pennsylvania
Convention Center, which opened in 1993, the Chinatown buildings on Arch Street, up to
the intersection of 13th Street, were demolished. In addition, a federal prison, the Federal
Detention Center, Philadelphia, opened in the area.

The Chinatown neighborhood benefits from its access to public transportation. The
Chinatown station on SEPTA's Broad-Ridge Spur is located at 8th and Vine Streets, and
Market East Station is only a block from the Chinatown Friendship Gate. SEPTA also
provide local bus transportation to the area.

The Greater Philadelphia Region
The strength and desirability of Greater Philadelphia is characterized by its economic diversity and population density. Its location,
high concentration of educational, medical and government facilities, and a strong transportation network underscore these
strengths. Philadelphia boasts strong economic fundamentals. According to the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Gross Metropoli-
tan Product for the Philadelphia Region is the eighth largest in the U.S. ($405 billion).

The nation’s sixth largest metropolitan area and fifth largest city, Greater Philadelphia is situated in the heart of the Northeast Corridor
and is the keystone of major north-south, east-west highway and rail networks. MSA Population is estimated to be approximately 6.4 mil-
lion as of the fourth quarter 2015. The City of Philadelphia is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the second larg-
est city on the East Coast. As of 2010-2014, the total Philadelphia population was at 1,546,920, which had grown 2% since 2000. The
median household income within Philadelphia was at $37,460 and had grown by 22% since 2000. Further, the median house value
was at $143,200 and had grown by 140% since 2000. The house value growth rate is much higher than the state average rate of 70% and
is much higher than the national average rate of 47%.

The Greater Philadelphia market area spans nineteen counties in Southeastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey and Northern Dela-
ware. Within the Delaware Valley, the Pennsylvania metropolitan division consists of five counties in Pennsylvania and has a population
of 4,008,994. The city is the seat of its own county. The adjacent counties are Montgomery to the north; Bucks to the northeast; Burling-
ton County, New Jersey, to the east; Camden County, New Jersey, to the southeast; Gloucester County, New Jersey, to the south; and
Delaware County to the west.

Located at the confluence of the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, Philadelphia is the only consolidated city-county in Pennsylvania. Its
neighborhoods are divided into large sections - North, Northeast, Northwest, West, South and Southwest Philadelphia - all of which sur-
round Center City. Each of these large areas contains numerous neighborhoods, some of whose boundaries derive from the boroughs,
townships, and other communities that made up Philadelphia County before their absorption into the city. For much of Philadelphia's his-
tory, the typical home has been the row house. A variety of row houses are found throughout the city, from Victorian-style homes in
North Philadelphia to twin row houses in West Philadelphia.

“Eds and Meds” Lead the Way
Healthcare and educational institutions are the main drivers of the Phila-
delphia economy, providing 243,000 citywide jobs (36.5% of all employment).
In University City, “eds and meds” account for 81.3% of wage and salary jobs.
In Greater Center City, where the office sector accounts for 31% of jobs, these
institutions provide 60,600 positions, accounting for 21% of all wage and salary
jobs.

Greater Philadelphia contains one of the nation’s largest concentrations of


health care resources in the nation with 120 hospitals, 200 pharmaceutical
and biotech firms and 135 medical manufacturers. In addition, the area is one of
the largest health education and research centers in the United States. It is an
important center for medicine, a distinction that it has held since the colonial
period. The city is home to the first hospital in the British North American colo-
nies, Pennsylvania Hospital, and the first medical school in what is now the
United States, at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn). The city's largest pri-
vate employer, Penn, also runs a large teaching hospital and extensive medical
system. There are also major hospitals affiliated with Temple University School
of Medicine, Drexel University College of Medicine, Thomas Jefferson Univer-
sity Hospital, and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Philadelphia
also has three distinguished children's hospitals: the Children's Hospital of Phil-
adelphia, the nation's first pediatric hospital (located adjacent to the Hospital of
the University of Pennsylvania), St. Christopher's Hospital, and the Shriners'
Hospital. In the city's northern section are Albert Einstein Medical Center, and
in the northeast section, Fox Chase Cancer Center. The city is also home to the
nation's first school of pharmacy, the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, now
called the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia.

Today, health care is one of the largest sectors of employment in the city.
One in five doctors practicing in the nation were trained at a Philadelphia area
school, and over 100,000 have chosen to practice in or around the region. Fur-
ther, with Philadelphia's importance as a medical research center, the region
supports the pharmaceutical industry. GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Wyeth,
Merck, GE Healthcare, Johnson and Johnson and Siemens Medical Solutions
are just some of the large pharmaceutical companies with operations in the re-
gion. Another positive trend for the future of Philadelphia is the emergence of
the biotech sector. In fact, “early stage” biotech companies and researchers
received a huge boost when Pennsylvania recently announced that it would
allocate $100 million from its tobacco settlement funds to create three biotech-
nology “greenhouses,” including one in Philadelphia, to nurture and promote
biotech startup companies.

23
“Eds and Meds” Lead the Way
Philadelphia’s educational heritage began with the founding of the University of Pennsylvania, a world renowned Ivy League school.
Today, Greater Philadelphia area is home to 101 degree-granting institutions, and ranks as one of the nation’s leading centers for high-
er education with a total of 91,844 degrees and certificates awarded annually. Further, more than 20 universities in the region sponsor
technology and science incubators, allowing new science and IT businesses access to university talent and equipment. Technology trans-
fer programs, incubators and science technology centers support the development and commercialization of new products and treat-
ments, providing state-of-the-art lab and manufacturing facilities, access to capital and other support for entrepreneurs. This provides a
steady pipeline of highly-educated people who enter the workforce or launch startup companies in the Greater Philadelphia region.

Greater Philadelphia has the second-highest concentration of colleges and universities on the East Coast, producing over 66,000 new
graduates every year. Notable area schools include: Temple University, the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Swarthmore

Arts & Culture in Philadelphia
Philadelphia is the cultural center of the Delaware Valley and the home to
many national historical sites that relate to the founding of the United States.
Independence National Historical Park is the center of these historical land-
marks. Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was
signed, and the Liberty Bell are the city's most famous attractions attracting
over 3 million visitors. Other historic sites include homes for Edgar Allan
Poe, Betsy Ross, and Thaddeus Kosciuszko, early government buildings like
the First and Second Banks of the United States, Fort Mifflin, and the Gloria
Dei (Old Swedes') Church. Philadelphia's major science museums include the
Franklin Institute, which contains the Benjamin Franklin National Memorial;
the Academy of Natural Sciences; and the University of Pennsylvania Muse-
um of Archaeology and Anthropology. History museums include the National
Constitution Center, the National Museum of American Jewish History, the
African American Museum in Philadelphia, the Historical Society of Pennsyl-
vania, and Eastern State Penitentiary. Since the 1700’s, Philadelphia has been
a center of excellence in the visual and performing arts. The Philadelphia
Orchestra and the Philadelphia Museum of Art (third largest in the United
States) are recognized as world-class institutions. The Impressionist collec-
tion at the Art Museum combined with the Barnes Foundation form the larg-
est collection of impressionist art outside Europe. The Rodin Museum has the
largest collection of this sculptor’s work outside Paris.

Named the Country’s First World Heritage City Putting it On Par with Jerusalem, Cairo, Paris, and Other Cities
After being granted the status of an Observer Member of the Organization of World Heritage Cities in 2013, Philadelphia has become the
first World Heritage City in the United States in 2015, formally receiving the designation through a vote taken by the XIII World Congress
of the Organization of World Heritage Cities in Arequipa, Peru. The designation, held by about 260 cities, comes as the result of a two-
year campaign and reflects Philadelphia’s evolution into an economic and educational hub and its resilience. Being a World Heritage City
is expected to enhance the City’s international stature, provide a new growth engine to drive tourism and commerce in the region and cre-
ate more opportunities for cultural collaboration and exchanges.

An Economic Engine for Philadelphia


Philadelphia’s arts and cultural sector is a vital regional
asset that supports thousands of jobs, benefits business
and helps grow our economy. When you tally up the
spending by arts and cultural organizations and their
audiences, and how those cultural dollars ripple
through our economy, the impact is profound. Cultural
organizations and audiences contribute $1.4 billion in
direct expenditures. These are the dollars spent by or-
ganizations to stage performances, produce exhibits,
hire accountants, and pay bills and salaries. It is also
spending by audiences at local restaurants, hotels and
retail shops. As those dollars make their way through
the economy, they trigger additional rounds of indirect
spending that add up to another $1.9 billion in econom-
ic impact. This economic activity generates tens of
thousands of jobs and benefits workers and businesses
in every industry and every community. Of the roughly
44,000 full-time equivalent jobs that are supported by
the sector, 7,600 are at cultural organizations and more
than 36,000 are in other industries. These are jobs that provide paychecks not just to cultural staffers, but also to independent artists, de-
signers and musicians; marketers, accountants and consultants; construction workers and contractors; and chefs, bartenders and hotel man-
agers. The jobs that are created by arts and culture return $1.04 billion back to our communities as household income. Arts and culture are
a revenue generator for both the Commonwealth and for local governments throughout the region. Cultural fueled economic activity gen-
erates $95 million in state taxes and $74 million for local municipalities.

Transportation & Infrastructure
The Philadelphia region is two hours from New York and Washington D.C. by car, six hours to the
West Coast, Europe, and Latin America by plane. Philadelphia links travelers through more Amtrak
stations than any other and the region has substantially lower traffic congestion than other major
cities. Philadelphia is at the heart of the Northeast Corridor Rail System. Amtrak’s 30th Street
Station is the third busiest in the system, with more than 3.7 million annual passengers. Hourly train
service to New York City and Washington, D.C. is provided, with total station volume exceeding
550 trains per week. The Acela Express is a high-speed train that provides access between Wash-
ington, D.C. and Boston through Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station. New York City is only a one
hour train ride from 30th Street Station. Conrail provides rail freight service via an extended net-
work through the region. Center City Philadelphia is accessible to all surrounding Pennsylvania
counties by train via the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA). With approximately 50 bus and rail lines, SEPTA
is the fourth largest mass transit system in the nation and has one of the most comprehensive bus, subway and commuter rail systems in the
United States. The PATCO high-speed line and New Jersey Transit link the New Jersey suburbs with Center City Philadelphia and the
Pennsylvania suburbs.

Philadelphia International Airport (“PHL”) serves as the principal aviation gateway for the city
and the region. The Airport is located just off Interstate-95 or Interstate-76 and can also be ac-
cessed via high speed rail operating from Amtrak’s 30th Street Station. Direct flights link business-
es to prime domestic and international business centers. Greater Philadelphia is two hours away by
air from 50% of the U.S. population and six hours nonstop to the West Coast, Europe, and Latin
America. Philadelphia International Airport continues to expand, with the recent completion of a
new international terminal, designated “Terminal A West.” This $550 million project includes a
785,000 square foot, 4-level terminal incorporating large public areas for ticketing, baggage claim,
concessions, and federal inspection services as well as 13 new wide-body international gates.

The area is crossed by more than 2,500 miles of interstate, state and local highways and roads that connect it to neighboring states and
the rest of Pennsylvania. Principal highways in Greater Philadelphia include: the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which provides east-west access,
as well as northern connections via Interstate 476 (Northeast Extension) and connections to the New Jersey Turnpike; Interstate 95, a major
north-south freeway that follows the Delaware River and passes by the Philadelphia International Airport; Interstate 476 (the Blue Route)
which connects Interstate 95 with the Pennsylvania Turnpike as it runs north-south, continuing northward to Allentown as the Northeast
Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike; Interstate 76 (the Schuylkill Expressway) which links south Philadelphia and southern New Jersey
to the western suburbs through Center City; and Interstate 676 (the Vine Street Expressway) runs through Center City Philadelphia. Fur-
ther, the Ben Franklin, Betsy Ross, Walt Whitman, Commodore Barry and Tacony-Palmyra bridges carry traffic between Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. The New Jersey Turnpike runs from New York City to the Delaware state line, and the Atlantic City Expressway is the main
route for travelers to the New Jersey shore. In addition, Interstate-495 is an alternate express route to Interstate 95 that circles around the
Wilmington area
