The AP Human Geography students from Cape Central High hit the road to explore urban development in St. Louis! They visited the Cortex Innovation Community, toured historic neighborhoods like Mill Creek Valley and The Hill, and learned firsthand about sustainable design, cultural identity, and the impact of urban renewal.
