Join us on Friday, November 16 to envision how we can create a sustainable community at 46th and Market Streets.
The blocks surrounding SEPTA's recently-renovated 46th Street Station are bursting with development—the relocated Youth Study Center, a branch of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and the new headquarters for the Philadelphia Police Department. But how can this emerging health and human services district truly serve a citywide constituency and also the residents and businesses next door?There are two great ways to participate!
