Designing Change: Tiny WPA's Blueprint for Better Spaces

Tuesday, November 12, 2024

4:00 PM-5:00 PM

Citizens and urban planners unite in "Urban Strategy in the Present Tense," a year-long speaker series dedicated to the local roots of civic innovation.
 
Curious about how citizen-led design can transform our neighborhoods? In our next episode, we sit down with Renee Schacht and Alex Gilliam to explore how Tiny WPA is reshaping Philadelphia's future.
 
Discover how Tiny WPA empowers everyday people to become "Building Heroes," equipping them with skills to design, build, and inspire others. Their mission goes beyond visual appeal—it's about fostering civic engagement and nurturing the next generation of change-makers, tackling urban challenges to create a safer, healthier, and more vibrant Philadelphia.
 
Join us for a dynamic conversation about grassroots innovation, community empowerment, and the tangible impact of citizen-led design in creating stronger, more inclusive neighborhoods. Register here!
 
The series is produced by the Lindy Institute for Urban Innovation at Drexel University in partnership with the Urban Strategy Masters Program in Drexel's Westphal College of Media, Arts & Design. Andrew Zitcer hosts the webinar. Thomas Devaney produces the series with production director Hazel Dequito.
