The 7th annual Wharton-Weitzman Future of Cities Conference will be held at The Study at University City on February 20. This year’s conference theme, Reimagining Urban Futures, will focus on balancing both aspirational and attainable visions for cities amid a convergence of challenges in recent years, including housing affordability, climate change, and shifts in federal and local funding. We aim to both discuss ambitious goals for how cities and municipalities can create the futures they boldly envision for their residents and explore the tactical, grounded steps to adjust to the changing realities of the work of improving cities. Vishaan Chakrabarti and Majora Carter will be our keynote speakers, and we will have panels and conversations on a wide variety of urbanist topics, such as housing, local economic development, building materials, climate resiliency, transportation, and more.
