PhilaU Professors Unveil Park West Master Plan for West Philly Green Trails Network Philadelphia University landscape architecture and sustainable design professors pre- sented a plan to prominent city officials, including Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, to improve park access, promote green infrastructure development and increase the overall quality of life in West Philadelphia. The resulting master plan is a comprehensive transportation, recreation, park and open space, and economic development initiative that would better connect five West Philadelphia neighborhoods to Fairmount and Cobbs Creek parks. PhilaU received $50,000 from the American Cities Foundation to create the master plan. Claudia Phillips, Ph.D., director of the landscape architecture program, Rob Fleming, LEED AP, director of the M.S. in sustainable design program, and Kim Douglas, assis- tant professor of landscape architecture, collaborated with PhilaU students and several partner organizations on the Park West Green Trails Initiative.
