Pandemic-Era Experiments & the Future of Public Space

This panel will bring together researchers and local practitioners studying how streeteries spread across cities, with a spotlight on Philadelphia's experience, and why some neighborhoods experienced many while others saw few, and how shifting rules ultimately led to many of them disappearing. Panelists will explore whether temporary pandemic experiments will lead to lasting improvements in how we design and share public space. Free and open to the public. Register to attend.

12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Meyerson Hall, 210 S. 34th St.
