Description

With new developments, redevelopments and construction projects underway, Philadelphia is experiencing an exciting period of growth. As the perceptions of Center City’s boundaries change, we invite you to meet some of the city’s innovative developers, builders, architects and engineers – the visionaries who are driving changes to Philadelphia’s skyline and expanding neighborhoods.

Join us for a moderated discussion about current developments, rationale behind site selection, challenges to construction, and the anticipated impact of various projects on the city's overall economic growth and quality of life. The program includes time for Q&A and plenty of networking.
