A Global UNIVERSITY CITY In the coming decades, Greater Philadelphia must engage with the world in new ways to advance regional prosperity and opportunity. University City is poised to lead the way. A global University City contributes to setting the agenda for both the region and the world. From the Penn Global Medicine Initiative to CHOP’s International Patient Team, from Drexel’s Israel and China partnerships to Penn’s proposed World House, University City institutions are fostering solutions around the world, and bringing global citizens to this community for best-in-the-world facilities, practices and brainpower. Add in the surrounding neighborhood’s diverse populace and eclectic retail and dining options, and it’s clear that a global University City is on the rise.
