Steering Committee
The Philadelphia2050 Steering Committee members bring crucial insight and expertise to the planning process. They help incorporate ideas and identify concerns from across the city’s diverse communities to help the Philadelphia2050 Plan be the best it can be.
The Steering Committee was formed in 2021 and is comprised of community leaders, members of City commissions, and City government employees. Steering Committee members represent neighborhoods and communities across the city.
Steering Committee members help guide the plan vision, goals, and engagement strategy throughout the plan development.
