Kansas City, Missouri
Kansas City, Missouri

Kansas City, Missouri (KC or KCMO) is the largest city in Missouri by population and area. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 508,090 in 2020, making it the 36th most-populous city in the United States. It is the central city of the Kansas City metropolitan area, which straddles the Missouri–Kansas state line and has a population of 2,392,035. Most of the city lies within Jackson County, with portions spilling into Clay, Cass, and Platte counties. Kansas City was founded in the 1830s as a port on the Missouri River at its confluence with the Kansas River from the west. On June 1, 1850, the town of Kansas was incorporated; shortly after came the establishment of the Kansas Territory. Confusion between the two ensued, and the name Kansas City was assigned to distinguish them soon after. Sitting on Missouri's western boundary with Kansas, with Downtown near the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers, the city encompasses about 319.03 square miles (826.3 km2), making it the 23rd largest city by total area in the United States. It serves as one of the two county seats of Jackson County, along with the major satellite city of Independence. Other major suburbs include the Missouri cities of Blue Springs and Lee's Summit and the Kansas cities of Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, and Kansas City, Kansas. The city is composed of several neighborhoods, including the River Market District in the north, the 18th and Vine District in the east, and the Country Club Plaza in the south. Celebrated cultural traditions include Kansas City jazz; theater, as a center of the Vaudevillian Orpheum circuit in the 1920s; the Chiefs and Royals sports franchises; and famous cuisine based on Kansas City-style barbecue, Kansas City strip steak, and craft breweries.

South Loop Park

South Loop Park is a 5.5-acre (2.2 ha) public park under construction in Kansas City, Missouri. The project involves building a structural deck, or lid, above a four-block section of the below-grade Interstate 670 (I-670) to create what its designers describe as a multi-functional, highly programmed urban green space. Its stated purpose is to reconnect the city's Central Business District with the Crossroads Arts District, addressing a significant urban divide created by the highway's construction in the late 1960s according to the controversial nationwide Urban Renewal era. Project leaders estimate the total cost between US$200 million and $217.2 million. It is financed through a public-private partnership that combines federal, state, and municipal funding with private contributions. The project is a collaboration between the City of Kansas City, the Downtown Council of Kansas City, and Port KC. It was designed by the same company that did Klyde Warren Park in Dallas, with plans for programmed event spaces, inclusive play areas, and gardens. The park was officially named Roy Blunt Luminary Park on April 11, 2025, after former U.S. Senator Roy Blunt for his role in securing $28.6 million in federal funding. After a federal environmental review concluded with a Finding of No Significant Impact, the project was cleared for construction. An original goal to finish the park before Kansas City hosts 2026 FIFA World Cup matches was delayed by the regulatory process, and the revised plan focuses on completing the foundational deck structure before the event.
