Hurricane Ida’s record flooding in 2021, summer of 2023 heat records, and record for worst urban air quality in the world on June 8, 2023, these events demonstrate that climate change is on Philly’s doorstep, and we must respond. What is Philadelphia doing to address the effects of climate change from the parcel, project, and regional scale while addressing historic environmental injustices?
Join AIA Philadelphia and ULI Philadelphia to hear about the creative ways in which our local leaders are responding with solutions that will work in our specific context.
The Urban Resilience Forum will be a half-day program with three sessions featuring guest speakers presenting case studies, moderated conversations, and audience Q&A. Following the program, continue the conversation over a networking happy hour.
Learn about Philadelphia Water Department (PWD), Trust for Public Land (TPL), and Patterson Elementary School’s collaboration to develop a storm water solution that also provides environmental justice and educational opportunities. These projects are featured in Alison Sant's book From the Ground Up: Local Efforts to Create Resilient Cities. Alison will be moderating the panel.
Hear how commercial property owners are making investments at key moments in a building’s lifecycle to improve environmental efficiencies and drive higher returns.
Hear how local government, news outlets, state representatives, community organizers, and infrastructure design firms might approach opportunities to balance regional needs to move people and goods, improve safety, enhance neighborhoods, and decarbonize the built and transportation environment.

PANELS
Panel 1: Eco-Inclusivity: Ensuring Green Stormwater Practices Benefit All Communities
The City of Philadelphia has deployed "Green Cities, Clean Waters" which looks at green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) as a means of not just infiltrating storm water, but also improving environmental justice and providing more green spaces for communities. We will look at a case study of a school yard GSI strategy.
Speakers
- Moderator - Alison (Ali) Sant, Co-Founder/Partner of Studio for Urban Projects
- Kenneth Jessup, Retired Principal, John M Patterson School
- Mark Cammarata, Deputy Water Commissioner, Planning, Philadelphia Water Department
- Owen Franklin, Vice President, Great Lakes Region and Pennsylvania State Director, Trust for Public Land
Panel 2: Pivotal Points: Capitalizing on Building Milestones for Environmental Gains
The three-part forum will explore resilience from various scales, with this panel focusing on the project scale. Panelists will explore the business case for investing in resilient upgrades and retrofits to existing assets. The goal is to identify specific points during a building’s lifecycle to make strategic investments that also result in higher financial performance of assets.

Panel 3: Collaborative Roadmaps: Engaging Multiple Stakeholders to Design and Build a More Resilient Regional Transportation System
Major road and transit infrastructure influences transportation and land use choices at a regional scale. Updating that infrastructure involves calculated bets on future technology, funding, and human behavior. Those calculations may be informed by increased Federal infrastructure funding and its emphasis on carbon reduction, climate resilience, and equity.
