Philly nonprofits joined forces to create a 'town center' where immigrants and refugees can access free food, English classes, and more.

Tourists, workers and shoppers are returning to Center City at near pre-pandemic levels a new report claims.

A lack of commuters meant 8.1 million square feet of empty office space in 2023, up from 4.2 million in 2019, according to the annual Center City District report.

Prema Katari Gupta is the new head of the Center City District in Philadelphia. And she has lots to say about retail, tourism, and trash cans.

Weekend pedestrian traffic in downtown Philadelphia during May was 94% of what it was in 2019, according to cell phone data compiled by the Center City District.

As he prepares to depart his role, Center City District's president and CEO reflects on the "basics" that make a city push though a tech boom, economic downturns and pandemic.

More than 175 new retailers, restaurants, and businesses have opened in Center City since 2020, getting Philly closer to its pre-pandemic retail occupancy rates.

The Center City District report claims without a return to office, the downtown economy can’t return to pre-pandemic levels.
