With the issues and challenges of urban centers now the subject of new
federal attention, the 2009 Rethinking Philadelphia program will
examine the effects that President Obama's urban policy plans will have
on the Greater Philadelphia region as well as other metropolitan areas.
Similar to the format of a town meeting, Rethinking Philadelphia "Metro
Nation" invites GPCC members, regional leaders, and concerned citizens
to attend a forum focusing on this prominent issue.
The program will feature a diverse panel of regional business leaders
discussing infrastructure and transportation, the emerging "green"
sector, and job creation. It will analyze how the region can leverage
its strengths and resources to position itself as a national leader
among metropolitan regions.
In addition, the program's co-producer, The Philadelphia Daily News,
will produce an editorial supplement on the topic which will be
published several days prior to the program. The supplement provides an
exceptional medium to describe the region's plans to leverage its
infrastructure, the green sector and job creation.
Confirmed Panelists to Date:
Andrew Altman, Director of Commerce & Deputy Mayor for Planning and
Economic Development, Department of Commerce, City of Philadelphia
Peter Fontaine, Co-Chair, Energy, Environmental & Public Utility, Cozen O'Connor
Amy Liu, Deputy Director, Metropolitan Policy Program, Brookings
Steven T. Wray, Executive Director, Economy League of Greater Philadelphia
Moderator: Sandra Shea, Editorial Page Editor, Philadelphia Daily News
