Mayor-elect Jim Kenney has announced the locations of four neighborhood town halls he and his transition team will hold in the coming weeks.

The events, open to the public, encourage Philadelphians to speak up about the future of the city.

"To move all of Philadelphia forward, we need all Philadelphians to be at the table," Kenney said in a statement. "These town halls will provide an opportunity for community members to speak directly with me and members of our transition team, so that our administration is prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities these Philadelphians face every day."
