Lexington (officially Lexington-Fayette Urban County) is the second-largest city in Kentucky and the 63rd largest in the United States. Known as the "Thoroughbred City" and the "Horse Capital of the World", it is located in the heart of Kentucky's Bluegrass region. In 2009 the city's population was estimated at 296,545 anchoring a metropolitan area of 470,849 people and a Combined Statistical Area of 688,707 people.
Lexington ranks 10th among US cities in college education rate, with 39.5% of residents having at least a Bachelor's Degree. It is home to the headquarters of Lexmark International, the Kentucky Horse Park, Keeneland race course, Red Mile race course, Transylvania University, the University of Kentucky and Bluegrass Community & Technical College.
Lexington has been selected to be the site of the 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games.

Cityscape Lexington features a diverse cityscape. From its vibrant downtown, which supports infill and historic preservation projects, to its famed horse farms, the city prides itself in featuring an urban growth boundary that includes greenbelts and strict zoning definitions. This has been done not only to protect the Bluegrass landscape from further development but to protect thoroughbred horse farms, the trademark industry of the region.
The city is home to several notable high rises. As of 2009, the Lexington Financial Center is the tallest building, followed by Kincaid Towers, and the World Trade Center complex. It is the location of many other notable structures and to many new urban developments in two major districts. In recent years numerous condominium projects and shopping centers have opened in the old Tobacco Warehouse District just south of Downtown. Due to uncertain financial backing, after demolishing the existing buildings, construction has never started on what was to be the state's second tallest building, CentrePointe, which would be 550 feet tall if built, and the site is now planted with grass.
Forbes has named Lexington as one of the world's seventeen cleanest cities.
