We know Philadelphians love good ideas. More of our subscribers come from Philly than from any other city. If you follow Next City, then you know Philadelphia isn’t without its challenges. But this too is a city where ideas are born. In this book, you’ll read some of our editors’ recent recommendations.

There is no thanks enough for you, our members, who support Next City through your donations. As a nonprofit newsroom, we depend on reader contributions to fund not only our journalism, but our ebooks, special issues, events and webinar programming. When we are able to report on what works in a city like Philadelphia, other cities will follow. To tell these stories, we need your support. These stories inspire, and everyone could use some inspiration right now. In a world where your phone pings regularly with crisis alerts, we must continue to amplify this message: good things are possible, and they're already happening.
