Temple Students Trying To Revitalize Neighborhood

PHILADELPHIA (AP) ― Temple University law students plan a forum on how the university can help revitalize neighborhoods bordering its North Philadelphia campus.

The forum tomorrow afternoon will study the redevelopment of West Philadelphia neighborhoods around the University of Pennsylvania as an example of how such revitalization can be accomplished.

Featured speakers will include Eva Gladstein, the director of Mayor John Street's Neighborhood Transformation Initiative, and John Kormer, the redevelopment consultant at Penn's Felks Institute of Government.

The forum gets under way at 4 p.m. Friday on the Temple campus.
