Mission

The mission of A Greater Philadelphia is to raise expectations and thereby better the lives of Philadelphians. We aim to engage unsatisfied but hopeful people who share a vision of the greater city and region that Philadelphia can be — and build a coalition to work together to demand better: better leadership, better management, better city services, better opportunities for city residents.

A Greater Philadelphia will advocate for the city to embrace a more ambitious and far-reaching vision. We will engage communities in dialogue about opportunities and priorities through a wide range of activities and events. We will survey community members and share findings with the public. And we will partner with other organizations to encourage advocacy and civic engagement at a grass-roots level.
