Event Description

Join mindful MATERIALS’ Executive Director Anthony Guerrero at The Wharton-Weitzman Future of Cities Conference, an annual multidisciplinary,  student-led, faculty-advised event hosted at the University of Pennsylvania.

Founded in 2020, the conference aims to bring together urban innovators and experts from the public and private sectors to challenge and deepen the discourse around the trends, technologies, and policies transforming the future of our cities.

This year’s conference theme, Reimagining Urban Futures, will focus on balancing both aspirational and attainable visions for cities amid a convergence of challenges in recent years, including housing affordability, climate change, and shifts in federal and local funding. We aim to create space for ambitious, even "pie-in-the-sky" thinking – visions of urban futures with sustainability, equity, joy, and resilience as core principles. At the same time, we’ll explore the tactical, grounded steps required to translate these visions into reality, such as how cities and municipalities can create the futures they boldly envision for their residents.
