Chinatown  



 

Chinatown has always been a smaller neighborhood, located in bustling Center City.  However, since the construction of One Liberty Place, the tallest building in the city, in 1989, the city has rapidly transformed. The city entered a rebirth - dozens of skyscrapers, condos, and shopping malls were constructed, and many abandoned buildings were demolished. The same happened with Chinatown. Many parts of Chinatown were bought out for other development, but many major preservation efforts have saved Chinatown. Today, it is considered a major part of the city, and a Philadelphia area tourist hotspot.
