KC, Detroit and Indy all have island Downtowns. Other cities have at least 1 (most two, Milwaukee all 3) direction where you can walk a few miles through urban neighborhoods.

I'm sure Milwaukee would have 4, but it's hard to walk on Lake Michigan.

You can walk south from KC downtown and it’s relatively urban all the way to the Plaza. Going south from the River Market, you hit downtown, the Crossroads, Hyde Park, Westport, and then the Plaza. There could be more infill but it’s fairly contiguous. The only area that is sort of iffy is south of Crown Center.
That being said, KC definitely needs more density and walkability. But it’s taking steps towards that, albeit small steps.
I mean, Detroit was dense. The new infill is contained to 5 or 6 blocks in any direction downtown, and then drops off to zilch.. So, at peak density, it may be better off than Coloumbus or Indianapolis? Probably not even though?
I think the core in Indianapolis is more walkable than Columbus? Maybe?
