Center for DesignPhiladelphia, 1218 Arch Street, Philadelphia PA 19107
What
With two stadium districts in the works, the FDR Park redesign, and a proposed $60 million waterfront pool park along the Schuylkill River, Philadelphia has a newly heightened focus on sports and recreation. How can Philadelphia leverage these projects, and think beyond rec centers in our neighborhoods, to build a larger culture of sport, recreation, and physical activity in the city?
Light refreshments will be served.
The event is free to attend and we ask you to RSVP so that we can get an approximate head count.
DAG would like to clarify that this event is not providing support or opposition to any major projects in the City of Philadelphia. It is an open discussion about the power of urban design to embrace physical activity and how our city’s landscape can support a culture of recreation, led by Diana Lind, a local urban policy specialist and writer.
Diana Lind is an urban policy specialist and writer. She is the founder of The New Urban Order, a widely read Substack about the future of cities, and a contributing writer to the Philadelphia Citizen.
