Mapping onto Community
-
Description
-
Article discusses the relationship between large-scale "top down" development, such as the entertainment district being planned by Cordish, and local grass roots development, such as the Crossroads District. In particular, the authors use the example of a large chain grocery store for downtown, v.s. Local Harvest, a failed local produce store. Developing downtown with all national chains can discourage local, community based efforts at development and cause Kansas City to lose its distinctive flavor.
