A Greater PHL
A greater philadelphia aims to build a coalition of city residents who share a vision of the greater city and region that philadelphia can be - and who want to work together to demand better: better leadership, better management, better city services, better opportunities for all who live here. Over the next year and beyond, a greater philadelphia will advocate for the city to embrace a more ambitious and far-reaching vision. We will engage communities in dialogue about opportunities and priorities. We will survey community members and share findings with the public. And we will partner with other organizations to encourage advocacy and civic engagement at a grass-roots level.
