Participate

Join PlanPhilly as we develop the participation section of our website!

 

At PlanPhilly we believe that the public voice is an integral part of planning, development, and design.  Therefore, we have been working to expand the participate section of our website with the goal of giving individuals and/or organizations the opportunity to 'raise their hand(s)' and share a perspective or initiate a campaign.  

 

Through this feature we hope to expand our function as an online community for those interested in planning, development, and design.  We also hope to encourage new leaders to emerge by giving you the functionality to post content, post action alerts, share your opinions, and communicate with supporters using PlanPhilly.  

 

 

How to get started:


Do you want to start a conversation?  This is a pilot project and we are looking to recruit new users.  Send me, Matt Golas (mgolas@planphilly.com), Managing Editor of PlanPhilly, an email and I will answer your questions and provide you with all of the information that you need!  We look forward to working with you and providing you with a new forum to discuss planning, design, and development.
