How Kansas City is Addressing Its Biggest Mistakes
Kansas City usually shows up on urbanist channels' “worst of” lists. After all, it has more highway-lanes per person than any other city in America. But Kansas City has been taking big swings at addressing its past mistakes for years and it’s starting to gain some momentum.
In a city this car dependent, the path ahead is long, but Kansas City has a recent track record of innovation and ambition that make it a city to watch moving forward. After 30 years of bold experimentation, it has some hard won lessons that have produced a smarter, more human-centered vision for its future. A vision to rebuild and stitch together neighborhoods that have been hollowed out and ripped apart by decades of car-centric development.
