How a fire and a fever forged the Philadelphia we know today

How a fire and a fever forged the Philadelphia we know today

The history of Philadelphia is filled with causes and effects that have slowly and surely built the city into the Philadelphia we know and love today. And as we live through the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, it's maybe even more interesting that so much of the innovation in Philadelphia's history was brought about by public health crises, both directly and indirectly. We wanted to find out more about the events that built this city, so we asked Harris Steinberg, Executive Director of the Lindy Institute for Urban Innovation at Drexel University to come back to KYW In Depth and talk about how a fire and a fever forged Philadelphia.
