Sustainability & Planning (walking tour)
Tuesday, October 11th
6-9pm
We hear a lot about green cities and clean economies. These concepts are already shaping the city we live in, but most of us have little hands-on experience with them. Join Young Involved Philadelphia, the Next Great City, Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia Horticultural Society for a guided hands-on tour of what sustainability really means for you and for Philadelphia.
As part of the two-week State of Young Philly conference, the Sustainable Philly Walking-Tour will take you to key sites in Center City where green technology and sustainable thinking are already impacting our lives. Take a pleasant evening stroll with experts on transportation, urban planning, and green building who’ll show you what’s happening and what could happen in the future.
Stops will include the PECO Green Roof, the new Penn Park, and 30th St. Station. The evening will culminate with free drinks and hors d’oeuvres as we discuss which priorities are most urgent for Philadelphia at the PHS Pop-Up Garden at 20th & Market.
Location
Meet in front of the PECO building at 23rd and Market.
Night ends at the PHS garden at 20th and Market.
