Commemorating the 30th anniversary of the tragic bombing in downtown Oklahoma City finds the city itself experiencing nothing short of an amazing urban renaissance, after having pivoted from a suburban focus to a vibrant celebration of its central business district.

During the 2028 Summer Olympic Games, the world will see how far Oklahoma City has come when it hosts canoe slalom at downtown’s Riversport Rapids and softball at Devon Park in the city’s northeast.

The world will also see a spate of new downtown development. A new $900 million arena is scheduled for completion in 2028, and this major tract of undeveloped downtown land is now planned as a 60-acre, mixed-use entertainment and sports development featuring a multipurpose stadium for the city’s professional soccer franchise.

Urban Land spoke to several people about the instrumental roles they played in helping Oklahoma City rebuild over the past three decades and the importance of the public/private partnership in that process.
