Hope for Vacant Lots in Philadelphia

Legally obtain a vacant lot and transform it to make Philadelphia better. See below:

Grounded in Philly (www.groundedinphilly.org) is an innovative web-based mapping and organizing tool that provides easy access to data on vacant lots and resources to individuals interested in starting land-based projects. "Folks in Philadelphia know how to use the land in their neighborhoods," says Amy Laura Cahn, Skadden Fellow and director of the Garden Justice Legal Initiative at the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia. "The problem is finding the information needed to make those spaces secure. Grounded in Philly consolidates information about vacant land from multiple sources, connects people to the land around them, and identifies routes to legal access."
