Greetings from KCDC Studio! In the fall of 2023, the KCDC studio began working with the unified government of Wyandotte/KCK Planning’s Urban Design Department on a year-long project to study the Central Avenue Corridor in Kansas City, Kansas. The studio focused on designing a masterplan for a new mixed-use development in Bethany Park, where a demolished hospital complex left a large, open space in the Riverview Neighborhood. The fall studio studied the rich history, cultural context, and current conditions around the park and neighborhoods to pose a thesis on the future of housing on the site, touching on issues of density, amenities, connection to existing neighborhoods, and the role of development in the overall health and economic vitality of the neighborhood.
