On January 25, 2007, the Next Great City: Philadelphia report was released, and the initiative went public in sharing its recommendations for enhancing environmental quality, strengthening neighborhoods and increasing economic competitiveness in Philadelphia.

One year later, we've already made a significant impact on the Mayoral election and have even made policy impacts. You can read about our successes on our website. Here's to another great year- and even more success ahead.
