Kansas City has become a city on a fast uprise. Progression towards the future, paralleled with the local booming population, has created a demand for further development of residential and working spaces; however, even with all the progression of an ever-growing city, many places are either neglected or overshadowed by city-wide improvements. "The old" becomes overlooked for fresh spaces and modernized amenities. Unnoticed, they become secrets in plain sight. No matter the outcomes of these places, they all once represented different stations of life in Kansas City.

Kansas City is an ever-growing metropolis. Every day the city's expansion reaches out just a little bit farther. Along with this expansion comes more infrastructure and the need for space. Sometimes the structures that sit upon the coveted land can be utilized in the plans, while other buildings stand in the way. In this next installment of Abandoned Kansas City, even more forgotten and vacant places tell their stories of the past, their decline into abandonment, and their present-day outcomes. Each of these places have historical significance, whether they are documented in the city's foundation or survive in the memories of those who remember them. Now they all share the same emptiness and neglect after their purpose has been served.

"In Abandoned, Julie Miller offers a fascinating, frustrating, and often heartbreaking history of a once devastating problem that wracked New York City. Filled with anecdotes and personal stories, Miller traces the shift in attitudes toward foundlings from ignorance, apathy, and sometimes pity to recognition of their plight as a sign of urban moral decline in need of systematic intervention."--Back cover.

A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.
