City launches new PhillyRising web app
The City of Philadelphia has introduced a new mobile web application that allows citizens to quickly find out more about neighborhoods that are part of the PhillyRising Collaborative.
Core features of the app include: upcoming events like community meetings and cleanups; information about community resources; locations of neighborhood facilities such as libraries, KEYSPOTs and healthy corner stores; success stories in neighborhoods; and an open discussion forum for each neighborhood. The app’s purpose is to connect residents with their communities and provide a forum to share important information that can ultimately help improve the neighborhood.
The app serves the following neighborhoods: Elmwood, Frankford, Haddington, Hartranft, Kensington, Kingsessing, Lawncrest, Market East, North Central, Penrose, Point Breeze, Southeast, St. Hugh’s, Strawberry Mansion, Swampoodle and Allegheny West. Information will be uploaded to the app by PhillyRising staff but individuals can also share information through the app.
To access the app, visit here. The app is also available as a widget on the Philly311 mobile app.
