The Drexel Symposium on Urban Futures will engage participants in cross-disciplinary topics such as urban sustainability, community development, public policy, design equity and the impact of technology on urban spaces. Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops and networking opportunities, attendees will delve into how urbanism shapes our daily lives and explore the strategies necessary for building more resilient, sustainable and human-centered cities. Drexel’s Symposium on Urban Futures is presented by Drexel University’s
Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design,
College of Arts and Sciences,
Dornsife School of Public Health and
Kline School of Law and in partnership with many of Philadelphia’s civic and community groups.
The College of Arts and Sciences—often described as Drexel’s ‘heart and soul’—works to bring together and amplify the diverse voices and perspectives of our faculty, students, staff and community partners.
