Join us on January 19 for the Academy’s first-of-the-year Urban Sustainability Forum on the many current efforts to make Philadelphia more pedestrian-friendly. Speakers will discuss ways our city can jump from fifth to first place among the country's most walkable cities, offering various health, economic, and environmental benefits to its residents. Bring your questions for our experts so that you can learn more about how to bring Philadelphians out of their cars and into a healthy, exercise-friendly, and sustainable city.
