In the United States, there is no official religion, no confessionalism and no Church representative of the State. Nonetheless, religion plays a more influential role than in other Western countries. The most populous city of Missouri is Kansas City, and it is an example of religious diversity, with a Catholic cathedral standing out against its urban background. This article examines the building’s evolution and model of heritage management, based on a qualitative methodology and interviews with religious figures and cultural managers. It is a model that might see changes as a result of the process of recentralization and gentrification currently undergone by the Power and Light District, the neighbourhood where the Cathedral is located.Downloads
