From the Philadelphia Daily News:
After being teased with casinos and Walt Disney, the city wants Market East to become a better version of what it believes it’s always been – a mixed-use shopping district that caters to everyone.
The goal is to attract tourists from Independence Mall and the expanding Convention Center, along with city residents who’ve stayed away. The city’s strategic plan for Market East, now almost two years old, calls for high-rises on Market Street where two-story buildings and parking lots now sit, drawing Chinatown and Washington Square West closer to Market, and transforming The Gallery’s 1 million square feet into something more inviting from the street.
