The Central Library's 10th Street accessible entrance is temporarily closed for elevator repairs. A phone number is posted outside the Library to contact staff for assistance with navigating the temporary accessible entrance on Baltimore Ave.
Nationally renowned urban thinker Chuck Marohn, who kicked off the Library’s Making a Great City series in January, returns to assess the crucial takeaways from all three sessions, including the advisability of an incremental, neighborhoods-first approach to development in cities such as Kansas City. By observing and asking how neighborhood residents live their lives – getting out on the street and discovering what’s going on – local governments can discern a community’s pressing needs. Risk is lowered. Returns on investment are higher.
Marohn is a civil engineer, land use planner, and founder of the Minnesota-based nonprofit Strong Towns. His presentation is co-presented by the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce.
The Making a Great City series is designed to help facilitate the healthy growth of Kansas City, making it a model for fiscally responsible development and financial resiliency.
