Officials say Philly likely to be named
USA's first World Heritage City
|
|
|
|
Philadelphia Inquirer:
Philadelphia is likely to become the first U.S. city designated a World Heritage City, an elite title given to about 250 municipalities worldwide, officials in Mayor Nutter's administration said Thursday.
A Philadelphia delegation, including Nutter, advocated for the city's bid while on a trip to Puebla, Mexico, this week.
|
|
The designation from the Organization of World Heritage Cities (OWHC), which Philadelphia has been seeking for several years, has the potential to enhance the city's status on the world stage and boost the city as an international tourism site and business hub.
