Temple University’s Center for Sustainable Communities hosted a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded workshop titled ‘How does Infrastructure Shape Equity and Well-being Across the Urban-Rural Gradient?’ in September 2019. It used the Philadelphia metropolitan region as a case study. Workshop attendees included researchers from the social, engineering, health, data, and environmental sciences, and practitioners, industry leaders, government agencies, educators, and community organizers.
Planet Philadelphia’s show on April 17th is a compilation of interviews conducted throughout the workshop by Kay Wood, the producer and host of Planet Philadelphia, Linda Rosenwein, Planet Philadelphia assistant producer, and Geography and Urban Studies graduate students: Rebecca Croog, Stephen Dickinson, Sarah Heck, Shrobona Karkun, Dirk Kinsey, Matthew Marcus, Naida Elena Montes, Jeronimo Rodriguez, Alisa Shockley, and Melissa Tolosa, talking about some of the ideas raised and lessons learned.
