Design is like democracy: The more citizens participating, the stronger our communities will be. So what are some creative ways to open the door & invite more people in? Join us before Eastern Market After Dark to hear from Philadelphians putting the "public" back in public space. From street art to sidewalk benches, parking spots & playgrounds, let's share ideas for cities shaped by citizens.
