The Ronald O. Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics – Forum · 133 S 36th St, Philadelphia, PA 19104

Where we live matters. Join us for the next session in the Politics of Well-Being series, exploring the geography of well-being: how neighborhood infrastructure, environmental justice, urban design, and housing access shape physical and mental health. This conversation will examine how place-based policies can foster or undermine equitable outcomes — and how communities reclaim agency over space.

Featured Speakers:
