Right now, OKC has several emerging urban districts competing with each other. Bricktown is currently the only district that I would say is at critical mass and has "arrived." The rest are still very much in the gentrification process. The competing districts are as follows.
-Midtown
-Automobile Alley
-Film Row
-16th St Plaza
-Western Ave/Classen Curve
-Uptown 23rd
-Paseo
On top of this, the Core 2 Shore area will likely be added to the mix within the next 10 years as Central Park is completed and it starts to develop. My question is do you think there will end up being winners and losers? Will OKC be able to support all of these districts at or near critical mass or will we see a scenario in which Midtown explodes and another district like Film Row or Auto Alley stagnates?
