Dubbed “the closest thing to Brooklyn that Iowa has ever seen,” the area boasts over 200 shops and services, including award-winning restaurants, loft-style apartment living, and independently-owned boutique shopping. Western Gateway • Page 6 With its eclectic blend of history, modern architecture, green space, corporate hubs, and percolating nightlife, it’s the heart of downtown DSM.

Historic Court District • Page 7 The Historic Court District is downtown DSM’s go-to hub for all things entertainment.

  • The Power of Vision, Leadership and Consensus: Downtown Des Moines Transformation 1980–2019 Received (In Revised Form): 25Th November, 2019
    The power of vision, leadership and consensus: Downtown Des Moines transformation 1980–2019 Received (in revised form): 25th November, 2019 David M. Feehan is a world-recognised expert in downtown revitalisation. For more than 40 years he has provided leadership and management to successful downtown and business district organisations, founded and directed a technical assistance centre for community development organisations and a public policy organisation. He has also authored numerous books and articles and taught at two universities. He is often quoted by news media throughout North America, the Caribbean and elsewhere. Patricia Zingsheim Patricia Zingsheim consults in architecture and urban design, in the public sector and the private sector, with a focus on the redevelopment of emerging urban areas along waterfronts and in downtowns. She was Associate Director of Design and Chief of Downtown Planning for the Government of the District of Columbia for the past 15 years and prior to that in private urban design consulting in Boston. She was awarded the Loeb Fellowship at Harvard University based on the role she played in Des Moines from 1983-7, where she led the Planning and Urban Design Division for the City of Des Moines. Abstract By the 1980s, downtown Des Moines had developed as a successful office centre, with major insurance companies headquartered there. Nevertheless, it lacked many of the attributes and qualitative elements that create a dynamic social and cultural place that would attract the talent companies needed, or have the makings of a great place dear to the community. There was little downtown housing, no pedestrian activity, few retail outlets and quality restaurants were few.
