达文波特中心区位于爱荷华州东部边界的密西西比河畔。和许多美国城市一样,它面临着大量地方性问题。多年来,这一地区目睹了很多居民和企业的搬迁。他们离开了缺乏城市生活活力的达文波特市区。为了重振这一地区,重建与河流的联系,市政府将搬迁和重建达文波特艺术博物馆(现更名为Figge艺术博物馆),作为城市更新计划的催化剂。 Davenport Central District is located on the Mississippi River off Iowa's eastern border. Like many American cities, it faces a great deal of endemic problems. For many years, the area witnessed the relocation of many residents and businesses. They left downtown Davenport, which lacks the vitality of urban life. To reinvigorate the region and rebuild river links, the city government will relocate and rebuild the Davenport Art Museum (now renamed Figge Museum of Art) as a catalyst for urban renewal.
