  • Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City by Lance
    Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City By Lance Russell Owen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Michael Johns, Chair Professor Paul Groth Professor Margaret Crawford Professor Louise Mozingo Fall 2016 Abstract Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City by Lance Russell Owen Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Johns, Chair Between the World Wars, Kansas City, Missouri, achieved what no American city ever had, earning a Janus-faced reputation as America’s most beautiful and most corrupt and crime-ridden city. Delving into politics, architecture, social life, and artistic production, this dissertation explores the geographic realities of this peculiar identity. It illuminates the contours of the city’s two figurative territories: the corrupt and violent urban core presided over by political boss Tom Pendergast, and the pristine suburban world shaped by developer J. C. Nichols. It considers the ways in which these seemingly divergent regimes in fact shaped together the city’s most iconic features—its Country Club District and Plaza, a unique brand of jazz, a seemingly sophisticated aesthetic legacy written in boulevards and fine art, and a landscape of vice whose relative scale was unrivalled by that of any other American city. Finally, it elucidates the reality that, by sustaining these two worlds in one metropolis, America’s heartland city also sowed the seeds of its own destruction; with its cultural economy tied to political corruption and organized crime, its pristine suburban fabric woven from prejudice and exclusion, and its aspirations for urban greatness weighed down by provincial mindsets and mannerisms, Kansas City’s time in the limelight would be short lived.

Conclusions Report Prepared By: HNTB Corporation With: Taliaferro and Brown Collins Noteis and Associates McCormick Rankin International SOUTHTOWN--TROOST CORRIDOR Planning Report INTRODUCTION The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA) in cooperation with the City of Kansas City, Missouri, has studied transportation improvement options in the southtown area of Kansas City, Missouri (from the downtown CBD south to I-435) for many years. In 2001, KCATA and the City completed the Central Business Corridor (CBC) plan which focused on fixed guideway alternatives. The CBC study leading to the final CBC plan was an Alternatives Analysis effort that identified transportation options in both the Main Street and Troost Avenue Corridors. The preferred mode identified in the CBC plan for both corridors was light rail transit. BRT was the preferred mode if light rail transit was found to be financially infeasible. A ballot initiative to establish a sales tax for light rail in both the Main Street and Troost Corridors was defeated by the voters in 2001.
