Kansas City covers parts of Jackson, Clay, and Platte counties in Missouri. It is the largest city in Jackson County. Situated at the junction of the Missouri and Kansas rivers, it lies along the boundary between Missouri and Kansas, and is directly opposite Kansas City, Kansas. Often abbreviated KCMO, Kansas City is the center of the Kansas City metropolitan area, the second largest metropolitan area in Missouri. As of the 2000 census, the city had a population of 441,545, making it the largest city in Missouri. Due to its central location, Kansas City became and remains the second largest railroad hub in the United States. 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 is being developed in the southern part of the downtown highway loop. With its revitalization, Kansas City is expected to continue in growth and resurgence in most areas. Nursing opportunities both in education and practice are very strong.
