The Adaptive Scenario for Regional Growth

Frank Lenk is an economist and Director of Research Services for the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC). MARC is working with local governments, transit providers, community partners and the public to develop a new long-range transportation plan for the Kansas City region — Transportation Outlook 2040. By adapting to change and adopting policies that attract development to centers of activities and major corridors, the Kansas City region can change from one that is hollowing out in the middle to one where all parts share in the region’s prosperity — where all parts are healthy.
