A Tale of Two Projects: New Planning Processes Change Community Attitudes

Introduction to two separate articles showing how two projects in 1998 were stopped as a result of strong community opposition, and the later results when the community became involved in the planning process: "West Edge Integrates New Office, Retail and Hotel With Existing Apartments" and "Revamped Master Planning Effort Results in 'Partners Project for Planning'."

An event called WaterFire Kansas City was held on September 8, 2007, on Brush Creek at the Country Club Plaza. The show originated in Rhode Island and uses both sights and sounds to entertain. "A series of log bonfires were set with torches in the middle of the creek in the heart of the Country Club Plaza as throngs of people lined creek walkways, banks and bridges.
