Chinatown

Spans from Arch to Vine Streets, and from 8th to 11th Streets. During various periods of urban renewal, starting in the 1960s, portions of Chinatown were destroyed in construction of the Independence Mall, Vine Street Expressway, Pennsylvania Convention Center, and other projects. In an attempt to preserve the remnants of Philadelphia's Chinatown, the neighborhood was incorporated in 1969 as the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation.
