Exploring the City
Temple University Libraries Spring 2012 Programs
Perhaps the phrase that best describes the 21st century city is "constant evolution." The diversity of arts, business, architecture and people, the dynamism between city planning, politics and neighborhoods—these elements constantly shift and interact to make a city unique.
Temple University Libraries will explore the many elements that comprise today's city from a variety of perspectives: academics, authors, artists, citizens, planners, civic leaders, preservationists and more. Visit us this spring!
