The Philadelphia Navy Yard is a unique site that offers lessons and inspiration to planners who work on redeveloping large industrial campuses. Since redevelopment has been underway since 2000, it is a mature project that already has demonstrated a high level of activity and market demand. However, because the site is so large and complex, significant planning and visioning still occur. This is an opportunity to explore and take stock of an experiment in city-building and a major urban redevelopment in its prime.

The site represents a blank slate for developing and piloting innovative urban technologies, such as autonomous shuttles. This workshop highlights the latest thinking about integrating technology with transportation and developing new urban neighborhoods. Draw upon this rich case study to inform your own work on large-scale industrial redevelopments.

Attendees walk during this workshop.

Learning Objectives:

Explain the development and future of the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
See an ambitious urban redevelopment that includes both re-use of historic shipyard buildings and new buildings and landscapes by world-renowned designers.
Experience a potential future of safe, seamless transportation by riding a autonomous shuttle.
