Vision Plan: Green and Civic Space in Downtown Kansas City

VISION PLAN Green and Civic Space in Downtown Kansas City

KANSAS CITY DESIGN CENTER | URBAN DESIGN STUDIO 2011-2012

Kansas City Design Center Urban Design Studio 2011-2012 Edited By Tiffany Cartwright & Caitlin Husman

The Kansas City Design Center supports educational initiatives that help build public awareness of the factors that influence the character of the public realm. The KCDC also works to strengthen the educational experience of future design practitioners by engaging university faculty and students with real-world issues facing Kansas City’s built environment.

Our educational programs are built around our resident urban design studio, through which faculty and students form partnerships with local client groups to develop design concepts and implementation proposals addressing major architectural, urban design and urban planning issues throughout metropolitan Kansas City. The KCDC also coordinates and facilitates academic studio projects by faculty from our affiliated programs.

inventory vision plan

composite anchor parks corridors network

Mission:

Create a Comprehensive Master Plan for the parks in the GDA boundaries of Kansas City.

Problems Identified:

• Fragmentation of the current park system, trails, boulevards, and parkways • Inappropriate or lack of programming to parks • Lack of functionality in regards to infrastructure or sustainability • Lack of accessibility • Lack of green in the city core • Imbalance of investment distribution within the GDA boundary • Perception of safety concerns

Goals:

• Promote City Identity • Create more permeability between districts • Increase walkability in the downtown area • Promote investment in disinvested areas • Provide functional, infrastructural systems to promote sustainability • Re-appropriate and reprogram parks to better serve the GDA • Encourage public and private investment in the park system • Promote physical activity • Promote livability to attract people to the GDA

ANCHOR PARKS Iconic parks that embody the identity of Kansas City. These parks have permanence and potential to connect the city to its place through its history, topography and natural features. These parks also either currently or potentially meet the programming goals of imagability, health and recreation, context/intent, accessibility, and sustainability. These parks primarily serve the city, but can also function as neighborhood parks or the region as a whole.
