What is the Urban Sustainability Forum?
The Philadelphia Urban Sustainability Forum is a unique coalition of groups working to make Philadelphia the greenest, most livable city in America.
The Forum’s main public face is a series of Forum presentations every 3rd Thursday of the month at the Academy of Natural Sciences, just off Logan Circle in Center City Philadelphia. The Forum presentations are public meetings designed to raise awareness and develop concrete strategies to address some of the most important issues facing Philadelphia. Forum events started in January 2006 and have continued ever since.
