Philadelphia Research and Policy

Pew seeks to inform discussions on important issues facing the city and the region and to provide policymakers and other decision-makers with data, analysis, and examples of promising practices that may help them address key challenges.

Government and Administration

Pew has analyzed several aspects of Philadelphia’s city government, including City Council operations, practices, and compensation, human resources and hiring policies, the Philly311 customer service center, workforce development programs, and the prison system. In addition, we have studied Philadelphia’s public libraries and the challenges they face in meeting changing resident demands.
