The American Planning Association (APA) formulated a list of Great Places in America focusing on neighborhoods, streets, and public spaces. Each list includes 10 locations from around the country. We are proud to see that Philadelphia’s Benjamin Franklin Parkway was named a “great street.” TLP teamed with Cope Linder Architects and the Center City District of Philadelphia on the renovations to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. We were responsible for building façade and sculpture lighting.
Ben Franklin Parkway – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Monumental, grand, and expansive, Benjamin Franklin Parkway has changed the face of Philadelphia. Since it was conceived in 1871, the parkway has been an urban planning and architectural triumph, providing Philadelphia with one of the country’s most iconic and acclaimed thoroughfares. Today, the parkway has evolved into an economic, educational, and cultural treasure, annually drawing more than 3 million visitors.
