June 4: Smart Growth Exemplified: Where Colleges Meet Communities
Years ago, colleges wanted to remove themselves from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. They often created internally-focused, walled-off campuses. Nowadays, colleges are embracing the wider community, looking for ways to reconnect their campuses to their neighborhoods and regular street life.
How is this working?
How have classic town and gown issues changed in the smart growth era?
Find out at the Delaware Valley Smart Growth Alliance event on Wednesday, June 4 from 8:00 am to 11:30 am at PECO Energy Hall, 20301 Market St, Philadelphia, PA.
A panel of experts will discuss recent expansions at local colleges; future expansion and construction plans; market issues for colleges that are incorporating retail shops, restaurants, research facilities, and private housing; how colleges are appealing to a new generation of students; interaction of colleges with their local neighborhood; and impacts on the broader community.
Panelists include representatives of Temple, Rowan, Drexel, University of Pennsylvania, the Chestnut Hill community, and Radnor Township.
