Urban Explorations

In response to recent recommendations from Project Wichita and the Century II Citizens Advisory Committee, community organizations have convened to take the next steps in creating a comprehensive vision and master plan that connects projects and both banks of the Arkansas River. These community organizations form the Coalition and include the City of Wichita, Downtown Wichita, Greater Wichita Partnership, Sedgwick County, Visit Wichita, Wichita Community Foundation and the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce.The Riverfront Legacy Master Plan will consider all elements together, including a performing arts center, convention center, the former library, Century II, pedestrian bridge and open riverfront gathering space, as well as connecting elements from Kellogg to Douglas, west bank development, downtown and area neighborhoods. The plan will build on previous studies for the east side of the Arkansas River as well as new developments such as the ballpark on the west side.This plan, built upon community engagement and input, should build upon our legacy of innovation, deep-rooted creativity and established regional attraction to create an inclusive riverfront for all.
