SUMMARY:The Original Transit-Oriented City: Transit-Oriented Communities in Philly
DESCRIPTION:Representatives from the DVRPC\, SEPTA\, and the Planning Commission join DAG to discuss leveraging the region’s transit network.\n\n\nTransit infrastructure has shaped the growth and development of the Philadelphia region ever since the first railroad opened here in 1832. As Philadelphia grew from a walking city planned around Penn’s grid to a metropolis built around rail service\, it helped establish the blueprint for what would come to be known as transit-oriented development (TOD). \nToday\, planners and policymakers are turning to Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC)—vibrant\, connected neighborhoods centered on high-quality transit—as a strategy for guiding Philadelphia’s next chapter of growth. On October 14th\, DAG will welcome representatives from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission\, SEPTA\, and the Philadelphia City Planning Commission for a discussion of how these organizations are leveraging the region’s transit network to create and sustain neighborhoods that prioritize people and make walking\, biking\, and transit convenient\, attractive transportation choices. \n \nThis event will be held at the new Village of Industry & Art at 320 S. Broad Street. \nRegistration is not required for in-person events\, however it is helpful for our planning. Light refreshments will be served. \n \nFor more info\, please CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:Design in Transit:  How City Subways Reveal Urban Identity
DESCRIPTION:Join author David Seltzer as he discusses how the world's subway systems reveal the culture\, history\, and identity of the cities they serve.\n\n\nOn August 12th\, David Seltzer will join DAG for a presentation based on his book\,Transit Tourism: The Iconic Art and Design of 22 Subways Around the World\, released in 2025 by Schiffer Publishing. Transit Tourism consists of travel essays and images on the art\, architecture and design of 22 subway systems located in 18 countries\, giving an underground perspective on the unique character of each of these cities. The premise of the book is that the visual culture of each subway\, metro\, tube or u-bahn—its architecture\, art installations\, vehicles\, map\, logo\, wayfinding\, and even typeface—reflects the distinct personality of the city it serves. \nViewing these systems through the design lens of a “transit tourist\,” one appreciates that subways are not just a means of transport—they are an indelible part of a city’s DNA\, and to understand a city\, you really need to understand its subway. \n \nThis event will be held at the new Village of Industry & Art at 320 S. Broad Street. \nRegistration is not required for in-person events\, however it is helpful for our planning. Light refreshments will be served. \n \nFor more info\, please CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:The Power of Place: Democratizing the Semiquincentennial in Philly
DESCRIPTION:Exploring how Philly is democratizing the Semiquincentennial by centering Black history and expanding narratives of America’s founding.\n\n\nOur national celebrations have been a time to reflect on the republic’s creation\, heritage\, and ideals. The Black presence contradicts the “storybook” idea of this nation’s founding as a “white republic.” As a result\, African Americans’ founding-era contributions have been marginalized during the Centennial\, Sesquicentennial\, Bicentennial\, and now the Semiquincentennial. The Philadelphia community has challenged this “storybook” conception of our nation’s founding. Becoming American: Philadelphia’s Story\, a feature-length film about the founding era through the lens of Philadelphia’s African community\, is one example of how the Semiquincentennial is being democratized. This talk will review this project and others in the city. \n \nThis event will be held at the new Village of Industry & Art at 320 S. Broad Street. \nRegistration is not required for in-person events\, however it is helpful for our planning. Light refreshments will be served. \n \nFor more info\, please CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:Public Space: Public Good
DESCRIPTION:Join us to discuss the challenges and opportunities for the Rail Park in their equitable development plan.\n\n\nWhat does it look like to invest in public space and the surrounding neighborhood? As the Friends of the Rail Park(FRP) embark on the beginning stages of their Community First Plan\, they are looking to other parks and partners that challenge the status quo of what benefits parks provide to their communities. While the environmental\, social\, and health-related benefits of parks are often communicated to residents\, many cities are starting to think innovatively around how to leverage the public and private investment generated by major public space projects in service of neighborhood preservation and community driven development. \nFRP’s Executive Director\, Rebeccca Cordes Chan\, will be joined by Scott Kratz of Washington D.C.’s 11th Street Bridge Park – an exceptional model harnessing the opportunity created by this scale of project’s investment to develop foundational policies and programs to benefit current residents and neighbors. As cities become denser\, infrastructure reuse projects such as the Rail Park and 11th Street Bridge Park are becoming more common. Kira Strong\, the Senior Program Director of the High Line Network\, connects these infrastructure reuse projects and the people building them to provide best practices and a community to rely on. The High Line Network’s Community First Toolkit is an incredible primer for public space projects of all kinds\, helping to ensure parks across the nation have the resources to embed equity and inclusive development principles into public space. \nTogether these three will discuss their experiences\, the challenges and opportunities ahead for the Rail Park in creating their equitable development plan\, what could that look like here in Philadelphia\, and how Philadelphians can get involved. \n \nThis event will be held at the Center for DesignPhiladelphia\, 1218 Arch Street\, Philadelphia PA 19107. \nRegistration is not required for in-person events\, however it is helpful for our planning. Light refreshments will be served. For more information\, please\, CLICK HERE!
