Nov. 5: Can the Suburbs Compete for Millennials?

Can the Suburbs Compete for Millennials?
A presentation and expert panel with
Maureen McAvey, Kevin Gillen, Eric Goldstein, and Tony Maras.

Millennials are driving new housing and commercial activity in big cities. Twenty somethings want density, walkability, mixed uses, and transit. So far, Millennials aren’t enthusiastic homeowners or car owners.  Given this, can the suburbs really compete for the biggest generation yet?

To crack this riddle, we have a top panel of experts:

  • Maureen McAvey, Senior Resident Fellow at Urban Land Institute, Washington, D.C. (Keynote Speaker)
  • Kevin Gillen, Chief Economist, Meyers Research
  • Eric Goldstein, Exec. Dir., King of Prussia BID
  • Tony Maras, Area President, K. Hovnanian Homes

May 20: Philadelphia 1865: A City on the Edge

May 12, 2015 / / Comments Off on May 20: Philadelphia 1865: A City on the Edge

Schreiber-Glover-Lincoln-Funeral-copy-e1354683725530

In 1865, Philadelphia was a city on the edge of grief, growth, and genius. That year saw the joy of Northern victory dashed by the grief of Lincoln’s assassination, unprecedented growth for the city, and a growing realization that abolishing slavery did not mean an end to the city’s race problems. At the same time, the genius of local science, education, and benevolent entrepreneurs achieved the critical mass that launched Philadelphia into modernity. Join us to explore a pivotal time in our nation and city’s history with a Weeknights at the Wagner lecture by Bruce Laverty, Gladys Brooks Curator of Architecture at the Athenaeum of Philadelphia. 1865 is also the year that the Wagner’s National Landmark building opened, and we will celebrate the building’s 150th anniversary with a Wagner cake competition and special member reception where the cakes will be served.
