Public/Private Partnerships (P3s) are increasingly becoming a tool that local governments, quasi-public entities and government agencies are using to achieve necessary and desirable community investments. They are especially effective for communities facing major re-investments as a result of a changing economy, closure of a major employment center, loss of retail anchors or shifts in tax bases. At any one of four locations statewide, join a planner and lawyer experienced with P3s to understand how your community could benefit from these innovative, yet complex, partnerships.

March 9: We Built This City
Join the Queer Urbanist Exchange (QUE) for “We Built This City” our big kick-off event, an urban themed sing-a-long* on Monday, March 9 at 5:30 pm at Tavern on Camac, 243 South Camac St, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107. QUE brings together urban design professionals and enthusiasts to meet, network and discuss topics affecting our lives in Philadelphia. This will essentially be our public unveiling, and also serve as our first mixer. We will share ideas and build our agenda for 2015. Your input will help shape the focus of our group and upcoming events. If you can’t make the event, but still want to be involved, you take our survey or join us on social media.
*Yes, you read that right… an urban themed sing-a-long! You are welcome to sing them yourself or leave it to the professionals. Jeff, the Tavern’s talented pianist, will be taking requests all night. On the Facebook Event, we’ve started a list of our favorites so he has time to prepare (e.g. “We Built this City on Rock and Roll”, The Trolley Song, and maybe even the Simpson’s Monorail Theme). Add your favorites or vote for some of the current selections.
Most drinks will be $2 off for our group until 7pm. There is a flyer for you to share with friends and co-workers about this event here.
