Abstract
Kansas City is the international leader in the commercial development of mined-out areas for warehousing, manufacturing, offices, business, and service-related activities. Over 3000 people work underground at about two dozen sites with a combined floor space of almost 2 sq km. Most of the space was created after mining a 6-m-thick bed of limestone that underlies the city and its environs. The most common usage of the space is for storage. The mined-out area can be converted to warehouse storage at a fraction of the cost of a comparable surface facility.
