The City of Kansas City is dedicated to empowering our citizens to actively shape our community through participation in policies and specific projects. This platform is your gateway to making a difference. You are invited to use the Speakeasy participation platform for the City of Kansas City!
As a citizen, you can share your ideas to spark positive change.
We value your input on how we can better engage you and other interested groups. Please share your thoughts and suggestions with us. Together, we can create a more vibrant and inclusive city. Many times all the voices in our city are not represented as important policy is drafted. This is your opportunity to help us create more robust, inclusive decisions.

Help Grow our City’s (Native) Landscape
Kansas City wants to hear your opinion on how to support and increase native gardens across the metro. Your input will directly guide decisions on how we invest in native plants to provide neighborhood health for generations to come. Native gardens are more than just pretty flowers and grasses – they’re the cornerstone of a healthy community! They clean our air, support birds and butterflies, sequester carbon, prevent flooding, and represent our Midwestern heritage.
Bring Vacant Lots to LIFE: Help identify barriers to activating vacant lots
Kansas City is home to thousands of vacant and underused lots – many sitting empty for years. These lots represent missed opportunities for housing, jobs, green space, and neighborhood pride. We want to change that – but we need your help. This survey is one of the first steps in understanding the real barriers people face when trying to bring these spaces to life. Whether it’s turning a lot into affordable housing, a community garden, or a public gathering space, your input will help us identify what’s getting in the way and how we can fix it.
