If the Kansas City area meets its goal of having an international exposition or world's fair, it could become the world center of food development, research and relief.
The Kansas City Commission for an International Exposition has set the year 2004 as a goal to receive a world's fair or world expo, and has called on the KU School of Architecture and Urban Design to help provide the initial design for the exposition.
Dennis J. Sander, associate professor of architecture and urban design, led 12 of his students in a special summer session to provide the design.
The design encompasses five major areas of Kansas City in Kansas and Missouri and would change the look of the city for years to come.
the book of the city of york.
According to the design, the main part of the exposition would be on the Missouri side of the state line, near the stockyards and Kemper Arena.
The exposition would include at least one arena larger than Kemper, Sander said.
The design has been laid out so the Kansas-Missouri state line would cut through the center.
A new building with a lasting effect on the city would be just north of the Country Club Plaza and south of downtown.
Two futuristic tube-like structures covering eight city blocks would create an additional 10, million square feet of office space downtown, and a monorail system linking the whole city would eliminate downtown traffic problems. Sander said.
Other areas would include large parts of land designed for farming research near the Missouri River. The largest tract of land has been designated "Little Nebraska."
"It would become sort of a United Nations of food research," Sander Sander
At the end of the exposition, some buildings would be removed, leaving large park areas for the city, Sander said.
The students presented the design to the exposition committee Oct. 30 and received a favorable reaction from committee members.
One of the committee leaders is Charles Wheeler, who was mayor of Chicago.
"The School of Architecture has been a great means of support to the program." Wheeler said. "I think Dennis has some exciting ideas."
The chances of bringing an exposition to the Kansas City area are good because of the long-time support by successive Kansas City mayors, including current mayor Richard Berkeley. Wheeler said.
The KU group spent about six weeks on the project.
