What's New

This Spring the fourth biennial conference on reinventing older communities will take place in Philadelphia. The deep recession has posed new challenges for reinventing communities, and the extent to which the economic stimulus funds being provided by the federal government will address these challenges is one of the topics this conference will address. The conference will also highlight some opportunities presented by the crisis. The conference will also feature three tours: the Navy Yard, a reinvented community consisting of a 1,200-acre waterfront development, with over 80 companies and 7,500 employees; a successful charter school tour, with the opportunity to meet with the school’s CEO; and, Temple University--see the transformation it has spawned around its North Philadelphia campus.
