KC Design Week: Relearning the Lost Art of Small-Scale Development

Hosted by KC Design Week and KC Incremental Development Alliance, Relearning the Lost Art of Small-Scale Development is a presentation that will bring together four design-focused small-scale developers working within historic areas of Kansas City.
