Call for Ideas
Do you have an idea for how rail transit could change Kansas City?
We want to hear from you!
We want to show the people of Kansas City how the future will be transformed through innovative infrastructure investments in transportation, urban design and architecture. Selected submissions will be featured on the Transform Kansas City website and included in an exhibition at Union Station for the month of October 2013.
Submissions will be accepted in each of the following categories:
1. New Ideas
Show us new ways of thinking about rail transit. No idea is too big, too novel or too out there.
2. Existing Projects and Designs
Show us examples of other areas in the world that have successfully implemented rail-based urban planning projects, transit-oriented developments, and modern transportation hubs.
3. Documentaries
Show us how rail transit has transformed communities across the globe and how those transformations can inform Kansas City’s future.
4. Designs for Union Station
Show us your original designs for Kansas City’s Union Station as a regional transportation hub.
Selected entries will:
• Be part of the primary exhibition opening on October 5, 2013 at Kansas City’s Union Station.
• Be showcased across Kansas City, Missouri, the United States, and the world.
• Be used in galleries, at community events, during panel discussions, and other public displays to promote the transformative potential of rail by the Transform Kansas City.
