Join Mayor Nutter, Commissioner DiBerardinis, and other city officials at this special edition of the Urban Sustainability Forum to launch the city’s action plan for creating new park space across Philadelphia.

Everyone deserves access to public parks and open space. Green2015 (www.planphilly.com/green2015) is our initiative that builds off the Mayor’s sustainability plan to create 500 new acres of green space across Philadelphia. We had six public meetings across the city this summer and over 200 of you came out and offered incredibly valuable input.

The agenda for the event is still being finalized, but here is what we know:

* The Mayor will discuss how this process fits into his five-year plan for Greenworks Philadelphia;
* Commissioner DeBerardinis will announce early action projects as a result of this work, and next steps the newly-merged department is taking;
* PennPraxis will give a technical presentation of the main findings;
* A panel will respond to the presentation and your comments;
