Ever wonder how Philadelphia became the city it is today? This engaging 10-part series investigates the social, political, economic, and design trends that contributed to Philadelphia's development. Taught by renowned local architects, urban planners, archaeologists, and historians, lecture topics include: major urban planning projects such as the Benjamin Franklin Parkway & Society Hill, our impressive palette of architectural styles, and Philadelphia's immigrant history. Tickets to individual lectures available. Discounted tickets available for those who purchase the full series. Train To Be A Tour Guide! Individuals who attend eight or more lectures in this 10-part series are invited to attend three additional training sessions (on three Tuesday evenings after the series ends) to become certified as a volunteer tour guide for the Philadelphia Center for Architecture and the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia. Leading tours is not only fun, but gives you greater insight into and appreciation for the city we and our ancestors have built. Information about this opportunity will be shared at the lectures. http://philadelphiacfa.org/events/building-philadelphia-architecture-history-politics
