dc.description.abstractThis paper examines recent and halting efforts to develop institutions for design governance in Kansas City, a sprawling medium-sized city in the Midwestern United States. Design governance refers to “second-order” (George 1997) methods of regulating urban design and development decisions. Public sector agencies employ design governance mechanisms to regulate the activity of private sector real estate developers to achieve a range of public goals connected to urban development. Less conventionally, design governance can also refer to methods of coordinating the design, development, management, and operations of elements of the public realm across multiple municipal departments. Research on design governance in North America has tended to focus on coastal cities with long traditions of design governance (Punter 1999, White 2015). Less studied are cities in the interior whose size, density, isolation, or conservatism limit the sustained development interest needed to make effective design governance possible. This paper uses the case of Kansas City to examine design governance in this more challenging context.
