3D Development plans call for a food hall, boutique grocer and office complex along 18th Street in the renovation of the historic Kansas City Star building.

Segment 1: Updates on the projects that are changing Kansas City's urban neighborhoods.

As property developments continue unabated in downtown Kansas City, we return with a review of the latest batch of projects. This installment covers recent happenings in the River Market, the Crossroads, around 18th And Vine, and along Troost Avenue between 24th Street and Linwood Boulevard. We also discussed the controversial continued reliance on tax incentives in parts of town like the Power and Light District, which have already seen success.

Segment 2, beginning at 21:13: "A Girl's Guide to Joining the Resistance."

From #TimesUp to #NeverAgain, young women are leading many of today's movements. But the struggles facing young female activists are unique, according to author Emma Gray. In this rebroadcast of a March 2018 interview, she shared her perspectives on how to become and stay involved in social change.
