Listen, learn and be heard. Participate in Philadelphia?s first-ever town meeting to imagine a vision for the city that reflects our relationship with the land that we live on. Learn about our land and our water, dream aspirations and give them voice.

We invite everyone who cares about the future of our communities, our land, water, and open spaces to participate. Our Voices Our Future is part of Philadelphia LANDvisions, an international design competition that will generate new thinking about the future of Philadelphia?s vacant lands. Help create a compelling new vision based on enduring ecological principles that reconnect and regenerate the fabric of the city. More information on the competition is available at http://www.landvisions.org.
