In the era of remote and hybrid work, thriving public spaces have the power to transform downtown. "Imagine a future where we invest in parks and public spaces so they can be the civic infrastructure for a changing climate and the social infrastructure to bring people together face to face. Imagine a day when every sidewalk is cool and green on a summer day, and wide streets have flourishing median gardens that relieve heat and add beauty. "Philadelphia can realize this future, but it will require shifting mindsets, a willingness to center public space as Philadelphia’s greatest asset, increased spending, and the collective courage to imagine and invest in a reimagined public space network. The future will be defined by the actions we take today." Patrick Morgan of Lindy Institute for Urban Innovation at Drexel University and Matt Rader of Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) make the case for investing in public space as civic and social infrastructure in this quarter's AIA Philadelphia Context Magazine.  https://lnkd.in/e2xfgW2w #socialinfrastructure #civicinfrastructure #publicspace #philadelphia
