Read about DPD by the numbers in 2020 and our goals in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all Philadelphians, but particularly the most vulnerable. The once-hidden challenges many of our neighbors face are now there for all to see. In 2021 we must do more than recover. To go beyond recovery the Department of Planning and Development will:

• promote equity and inclusion
• support our most vulnerable residents
• increase access to and the efficiency of its programs.
