Belonging: A Conversation About Cities in Flux

Led by Diana Lind, editor in chief of Next American City magazine (americancity.org), panelists will address questions of how we can improve our cities and make them thriving, cultural centers in which people want to live. The discussion will center around the built environment as well as ongoing changes and possible improvements to the economy and society.

Sunday, April 1, 2012 – Wednesday, December 31, 1969

2:30pm - 3:30pm

Cities’ populations, boundaries and identities are constantly changing. While the market often pulls cities in opposite directions of gentrification and vacancy, policymakers and community leaders try to mediate these trends. These actions beg the question: Who and what belongs in a city? In cities around the country, everyone from artists to philanthropists are leaving their imprints on local school systems, urban agriculture, historic preservation, media, art and many other aspects of urban life in order to make the city their own. This panel discussion at the Philadelphia Museum of Art will gather a distinguished group of experts, artists and practitioners for a provocative dialogue on the topic of spatial, political, and cultural belonging in American cities.
