PHILADELPHIA—Co-working, maker and creative spaces are changing Philadelphia’s neighborhoods, bringing new firms to the City and creating opportunities for technologies to be developed and companies to grow, according to a panel of market participants convened by the Urban Land Institute’s Philadelphia District.
