Residents Say Sports Development Poses a Threat to Philadelphia’s Chinatown

February 18, 2024

That’s because developers want to build a $1.5 billion basketball arena abutting the cultural hub. Residents worry the yearslong construction could impact their livelihoods and drive out local businesses. Correspondent Joie Chen travels to the city to talk to community members who are fighting to preserve their culture.
