On January 7, 1952, Philadelphia's current city charter took effect. The city council created under that charter consists of seventeen members. Ten are elected from equal-sized districts, and seven are elected at-large in a citywide vote.
The members of City Council elect from among themselves a president, who serves as the regular chairperson of council meetings. In consultation with the majority of council members, the President appoints members to the various standing committees of the council. The president is also responsible for selecting and overseeing most Council employees.

Among the changes enacted was a reduction of the size of the two-chambered, 190-member City Council to a unicameral, smaller body. The city was divided into eight districts, which elected multiple members based on their relative populations. The system stayed in place until 1951, when a new city charter changed the system to a different model.
