Regional Planning Federation of the Philadelphia Tri-State District
Variant namesThe Regional Planning Federation of the Philadelphia Tri-State District had its beginning in the meeting of a group of municipal reformers at the City Club in early 1924. Their goal was the development of a comprehensive regional planning program for the Philadelphia Tri-State district and in May 1928 the Regional Planning Federation was incorporated. The major accomplishment of the Federation was the publication of the Regional Plan for the Philadelphia Tri-State District in 1932 and the various surveys taken in preparation for the Plan. In the years following the publication of the plan, the Federation became increasingly overshadowed by various New Deal agencies and finally suspended its activities indefinitely in 1941.
