Alan Greenberger revisits DAG’s founding, its impact on Philly, and his reflections as former Chief Planner on progress made and still ahead
About this Event

Twenty five years ago, Alan Greenberger and William Becker invited a handful of like-minded civic leaders to create the DAG. Alan will discuss how and why DAG came into existence, what its founders hoped for and what DAG has meant to Philadelphia. Alan stepped down from the leadership of DAG in its seventh year to become Philadelphia’s Chief Planner and ultimately, Deputy Mayor for Economic Development. Now retired, he will reflect on progress made and progress still to be made.


This event will be held at the Philadelphia Ethical Society, 1906 Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, PA 19103.

Registration is not required for in-person events, however it is helpful for our planning. Light refreshments will be served.
