DelanoÕs Turn: Directions West of the River Volume 2 presents research, analysis, and mapping for the Delano district in Wichita, Kansas. Fifteen mid-level students enrolled in an intensive 8-week Community Planning and Design studio at Kansas State University completed the work during the summer of 2017. The studio was co-led by Associate Professor Blake Belanger and Associate Professor Howard Hahn. The effort was supported with funding from the Wichita Downtown Development Corporation (WDDC) and Kansas State UniversityÕs Technical Assistance to Brownfields (TAB).
DelanoÕs Turn is presented in two Volumes. This book, Volume 2: Critical Maps includes over 100 research-driven maps that investigate issues, identify opportunities and dilemmas, and propose planning and design strategies for the Delano District. Volume 1, also available on Lulu, presents refined urban design ideas derived from the critical maps.
