Drexel Great Works Symposium Studying Greenworks Philadelphia

Since 2000, Drexel University has been offering a Great Works Symposium, an interdisciplinary course focused on exploring subjects of the broadest possible interest and greatest societal impact. This year the topic of the symposium is Greenworks Philadelphia. The course asks students to examine the four targets set out to meet the Greenworks goal of reducing Philadelphia’s vulnerability to rising energy costs. Students will critique the plan using the Ecological Footprint model.
