ike in most cities, there is a big part of Cedar Rap-
ids that is managed by a small number of players. The largest of these is the City itself, which has co-sponsored this plan and appropriately receives several chapters of discussion and direction. Next comes what we can collectively call the “institutions,” the large entities and organizations. These include the City’s school districts, private schools, colleges and universities, hospitals, golf clubs, cemeteries, and major corporations. Together, these institutions own and manage more than 8 percent of the City’s land, and an equal if not greater percentage of its trees.
