PennPraxis and Kimmel Center Lead Public Forums Designed to Re-Energize Public Spaces
Wednesday, February 13, 2008

The Kimmel Center has partnered with PennPraxis and the Penn Project for Civic Engagement to lead a public process on how to make the Kimmel Center public spaces a more vibrant community destination. Public forums took place in late January to gather citizen ideas.

The ideas collected will be the basis of the University of Pennsylvania and University of the Arts student design concepts on how to enliven spaces like Commonwealth Plaza, Hamilton Garden and the Kimmel Center's Broad and Spruce Street level façades and sidewalks.
