Green Plan Philadelphia brings together city agencies and partner organizations to prepare GreenPlan Philadelphia, a comprehensive open space plan for the city. this organization brings people together to speak about citywide issues and issues local to their neighborhood. One of Green Plan Philadelphia's goals is to reconnect green parks and open space by developing a long-term vision and to implement it over 15 years.
Green Plan Philadelphia reports that there are 56% fewer violent crimes and 48% fewer property crimes in inner-city apartment buildings with higher levels of greenery versus those with little or no vegetation.*
