You’re invited to participate in a special interactive summit for built environment design students. The summit will be in person and online. 

Philadelphia’s 7th Ward, once the heart of Black Philadelphia, was a historically significant African-American community in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Flourishing with thriving businesses, schools, and churches, it was a vibrant cultural epicenter and a catalyst for political activism. 

Imagine what the 7th Ward could be today if we could transcend the constraints imposed by discriminatory economic, racial, planning strategies, and policies

Join AI experts to envision what the 7th Ward could be by leveraging AI as a visualization tool.  This event will be interactive both in person and online and is free for students to attend.  We do have  limited spots for professionals to attend, please contact Michael Spain at DesignPhiladelphia if you are interested in attending.
