Francesca Russello Ammon, associate professor of city and regional planning who teaches in the graduate program in historic preservation in the Weitzman School of Design, has been selected for an ACLS Fellowship for her project “Preserving the City: Urban Renewal and Restoration in Society Hill, Philadelphia. Preserving the City” applies modern mapping technologies to document the history of Society Hill and the iconic neighborhood’s history of preservation. Given by the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), to fund a year of research and writing, the Fellowship is among the most selective in the humanities and social sciences.
