This report aims to impart the conversations and takeaways discussed among key stakeholders in the Philadelphia community at the Philadelphia New Normal Forum, a virtual convention held in May 2020. Among the findings discussed in the Report are key challenges and opportunities identified along each of the Forum’s four discussion themes - City Infrastructure, Neighborhood Essentials, Inclusive Communities, and Intentional Investment. In its efforts to demonstrate SDG materiality and feasibility for multi-stakeholder implementation, the report takes an intermediate step of mapping identified challenges and opportunities to specific UN SDG targets, as well as goals identified in Philadelphia’s comprehensive plan for growth and development, also known as Philadelphia2035.
