General Info

Kansas City is a city covering parts of Jackson, Clay, Cass, and Platte counties in Missouri, USA. Although it is the largest city in Jackson County, the suburb of Independence is the county seat. Situated at the junction of the Missouri and Kansas rivers, it lies along the boundary between Missouri and Kansas, and is directly opposite of Kansas City, Kansas.

Often abbreviated as "KC" (to refer to the entire metropolitan area), or "KCMO" (to refer to only Kansas City, Missouri), Kansas City, Missouri is the center of the 26th largest metropolitan statistical area in the United States. In the Midwest, Kansas City is the 7th largest city (between Cleveland, Ohio and Omaha, Nebraska). As of the 2000 census, the city has a population of 441,545. Combined with Kansas City, Kansas, the population is 588,411, but the entire metropolitan area (in both Missouri and Kansas) is approximately 1,836,038 (estimated 2,015,282 in 2005). Although Kansas City has the highest population of any city in Missouri, St. Louis has a larger surrounding metropolitan area, with approximately 600,000 more people than Kansas City's metropolitan area.

Kansas City Downtown Redevelopment

Main article: Downtown Kansas City

Downtown Kansas City is an area of 2.9 square miles bounded by the Missouri River to the north, 31st Street to the south, Bruce R. Watkins Drive (U.S. Highway 71) to the east and I-35 to the west.

After years of neglect and seas of parking lots, downtown Kansas City is currently undergoing a renaissance. Many residential properties have recently been or are currently under redevelopment. A planned entertainment district, titled the "Power and Light District" is being developed in the southern part of the downtown freeway loop by the Cordish Company of Baltimore, Maryland. Adjacent to the entertainment district will be a new arena, named the Sprint Center, set to open in 2007. The arena, to be designed by a consortium of local architects, hopes to lure an NBA or NHL franchise to the city. Los Angeles-based Anschutz Entertainment Group has invested in the arena project and will run its daily operations.

Kansas City Economy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kansas City, Missouri, USA, is, based on the United States Census Bureau's 2004 population estimates, the largest city in Missouri and the 40th largest city in the United States. Moreover, it is the anchor city of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, the second largest metropolitan area in Missouri and 27th largest in the United States. Not surprisingly, then, it has one of the largest, most influential, and most important economies in its region. Historically, it has been the third largest beef capital in the United States (behind Chicago and Cincinnati) and home to the second largest rail network. It also houses many factories, manufacturing plants and an official international trade zone.
