Abstract

A vertical file of mostly soft-cover pamphlets, reports and prospectuses formerly part of the library of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission. The file covers all aspects of city and regional planning, with emphasis on transportation and other infrastructure, land use and zoning, urban renewal, housing, slum clearance, industry and commerce, central business districts and suburban shopping centers. The publications represent federal, state, regional and local government agencies, private engineering, architectural and planning consultants, quasi-public and non-profit associations, regional authorities, chambers of commerce, and university departments. The bulk of the materials date from the 1950s through the 1970s, the heyday of urban renewal and federally-sponsored planning. There are also a few developers' brochures on built or projected building complexes and industrial parks.

"A descendant of Nicholas Waln, one of the original Pennsylvania settlers who came to Philadelphia with William Penn on the Welcome in 1682, Joseph Waln Ryerss built his opulent summer retreat, Burholme, on 85 acres in 1859. Like his Waln ancestors, Joseph continued the family penchant for acquiring exotic objects from the orient, with the newly constructed Burholme serving as a worthy setting. When Joseph died in 1868 he willed Burholme to his son Robert Waln Ryerss [1831-1896], a ...
