  • The Way Downtown Is Supposed to Be
    The Way Downtown is Supposed to Be Downtown OKC It’s known as “the place to be.” In Oklahoma City, a revitalization has firmly taken hold with public and private investment combining to put in motion more than $6 billion in projects and building since 1995. More than 55,000 people work downtown, including high-tech and health care industries as well as high- paying energy jobs, not to mention professional basketball players. Ideal for both living and working, Downtown’s various districts are becoming a magnet for the “creative class,” and fittingly a number of corporate headquarters and new housing developments are located here. In fact, Oklahoma City is bucking the trends and downtown population has actually increased 15% since 2000. It’s the new urban vibe without the old urban grit.

  • Summary Report Welcome Letter
    SUMMARY REPORT WELCOME LETTER Dear Reader, As people expand the footprints of their cities and encroach upon wilderness, the ways in which they encourage plant and animal growth through interconnected green spaces will determine whether those non-human species thrive or perish. Looking to the future of urban ecosystems, a group of thought leaders met for the first ever National Urban Ecosystems Forum, co-convened by The American Architectural Foundation (AAF), a national nonprofit headquartered in Washington, D.C., and the Kirkpatrick Foundation, an Oklahoma City-based charitable organization. Over the course of the two-day summit, 22 of the nation’s thought leaders and innovators from government, institutions of higher learning, urban design and landscape architecture practice, and ecology met in intensive work sessions to develop actionable, practical, and meaningful strategies for city leaders across North America. Delegates developed clearer definitions of urban ecosystem management and discussed key strategies that will ensure that cities will more proactively integrate the needs of plants and animals into planning processes for their communities. Oklahoma City played both host and example, as the city undertakes ambitious park projects to bolster citizen engagement and well-being and connect the City’s rich open space network. This report serves as a record of the Forum discussion, and we hope it will serve as a tool for city leaders of cities large and small that seek to improve connections between and habitat for people, plants, and animals. On behalf of AAF and the Kirkpatrick Foundation, we are truly grateful to the Forum delegates for lending their time and expertise to this important convening.
