The forum will explore the politics, policy and law of urban revitalization in Philadelphia, with specific focus on the communities surrounding the Temple University campus. Using the experience of West Philadelphia as a case study, panelists will examine both the positive and negative consequences of neighborhood transformation, from a social, economic, and cultural perspective. Please join us to engage with members of the community, policymakers, developers, researchers, students, and advocates to inform the policy debate about the future of North Philadelphia.
