Introducing the Newly Revamped universitycity.org

Perhaps you’ve noticed things look a little different around here? University City District is proud to share details of the new universitycity.org, created in partnership with local creative agency Push10. Our new home will serve as a resource for community members, employees, small business owners, and anyone looking to visit University City.

The new universitycity.org was built to be modern, fresh, and mobile-friendly. We analyzed years of analytics to restructure our content and tell the story of our organization and neighborhood clearly and succinctly. Here are some of the new features:

• A new responsive website designed to look great on a desktop, tablet, or phone.
• A new help desk feature that provides answers to commonly asked questions and will be frequently updated by our team.
• A revamped community calendar highlighting the best things to do in University City, sourced from community submissions. Do you have an event happening within University City you’d like us to highlight? You can now send us events using a submission form on our calendar page.
• A neighborhood guide that functions as a curated resource to keep you up-to-date on what’s happening within University City, from new business roundups to seasonal highlights to general tips for residents, employees, and visitors.   
• A section for neighborhood spotlights, focusing on the people, places, and organizations that make our organization and community unique.
• A redesigned latest news section for sharing the latest news on UCD or important updates in the neighborhood, like major events, street work, or our own significant news.
• New pages offering resources for people looking to do business in University City.
• Information on all the services UCD offers:
  • Transforming public spaces
  • Maintaining clean and safe streets
  • Improving transportation
  • Providing commercial landscape services
  • Assisting the unhoused
  • Supporting our local economy
  • Connecting residents to careers
• And much more!

We’re beyond excited about our new online home and the ways it will allow us to continue our work to make University City a neighborhood of choice in Philadelphia. We hope you’ll enjoy our new site!
