Temas de la Conferencia

The Main Street Now 2025 education agenda will feature evergreen Main Street Approach content, plus engaging sessions centered around a core theme — A Healthy Main Street Movement — and three related sub-themes:

A Healthy Main Street Movement
Main Streets are the hearts of our communities. They are hubs of innovation and creativity, where the dreams of entrepreneurs become local institutions serving vital community needs. They are gathering places, bringing together people from across the street and across town. They are places of shared memory and cultural expression that carry the stories of generations through permanent public art installations and temporal events. In these ways, and so many more, Main Streets both reflect and shape individual and community health. And just like people, Main Streets require care, nurturing, and attention to reach their full potential. To foster healthy Main Streets, we must bring people together to encourage deeper connection, drive future-focused solutions by exploring innovative approaches, and create a sustainable Movement where everyone can fully participate and thrive. 

Connect
Connection is a powerful tool that can help us name and achieve shared goals for our Main Streets. Philadelphia’s focus on active transportation and unparalleled public art program provides a rich backdrop for exploring the importance of designing people-centered districts. Accessible infrastructure, welcoming public spaces, and arts programming are examples of proven ways to help create vibrant, inclusive communities. Cultivating these ways to connect not only nurtures social bonds, but also promotes healthy, cohesive Main Streets where everyone feels supported, represented, and valued. 

Innovate
We need fresh, creative ideas to meet the new and longstanding challenges impacting our communities. Innovation can take many forms, from using new technologies to thinking outside of the box. Whether creating accessible spaces and getting people involved or supporting grow-from-within economies and building resilient communities, innovation champions healthier Main Streets — ensuring that our communities thrive physically, socially, and economically for generations to come. 

Sustain
Sustainability weaves together many threads of Main Street work. It means taking care of our local leaders by providing them with the support, resources, and work/​life balance they need to be happy and successful. It means protecting our environmental health by investing in green technology and preparing for the impacts of climate change. It means supporting entrepreneurs and small business leaders to promote resiliency, equitable growth, and strong local economies. From our people to the planet, a holistic approach to sustainability secures a healthy present and future for our Main Streets.
