Vibrant Success Stories

For over a decade, the Planning Sustainable Places Program has worked to advance integrated local transportation and land use planning across the region. The Mid-America Regional Council is looking to recognize those planning studies that exemplify the opportunities that integrated planning can achieve at our Vibrant Success Stories event. This event builds upon our prior showcase events for success stories around the Kansas City region, where we honor those embracing and accelerating positive change in regional transportation, land use and other environmental aspects.

The 118 studies that have been funded, as part of Planning Sustainable Places, have incorporated concepts that are consistent with sustainable communities, and the advancement of site-specific and project-specific activities that further the planning framework for centers and corridors. The studies have meaningfully engaged their communities in a collaborative dialogue to elevate and advance their futures.
