Why is Philadelphia the \u201cHidden City?\u201d What makes it distinctive in the landscape of American cities? And why does it matter? These are the questions Hidden City Daily co-founders Peter Woodall and Nathaniel Popkin and Hidden City Festival photographer Joseph E.B. Elliott seek to answer in the new book, Philadelphia: Finding the Hidden City, just recently published by Temple University Press.

\n\n

As the authors examine the historic reasons Philadelphia is the Hidden City, their essay and Elliott\u2019s 110 photographs draw the reader inside, to discover the complexities and contradictions of Philadelphia\u2019s sometimes misunderstood nature. Elliott\u2019s photographs reveal the essence of 33 places around the city, including some hidden in plain sight. Take a journey to the Hidden City!
