In this summer edition of the CCD/CPDC quarterly newsletter, President & CEO Prema Katari Gupta highlights the recently released and reimagined State of Center City, which reflects CCD’s organizational vision that “Center City is Philadelphia’s heart of commerce, culture, and connection, generating opportunity and prosperity for the entire city and region.” She notes that the report’s findings clearly show that Center City in 2025 is reinventing itself as a more resilient, diverse, and dynamic downtown. Data-driven research like State of Center City, along with new CCD placemaking initiatives like the Open Streets temporary street closure program, can serve as powerful tools to see beyond preconceptions about our downtown and highlight its place as a remarkable urban center that continues to drive our region’s economic and cultural prosperity.
