Ma ville Orlando.. nickname : the City Beautiful !!

Orlando (pronounced /ɔrˈlændoʊ/) is a major city in the central region of the U.S. state of Florida. It is the county seat of Orange County and the center of the Greater Orlando metropolitan region. The Greater Orlando metropolitan area has a population of 2,082,628 and it is the 27th largest metropolitan area in the United States. The city-proper population is 230,519 making Orlando the 82nd largest city in the United States[5]. It is Florida's third largest metropolitan area and it's fifth largest city by population. It was incorporated on July 31, 1875, and became a city in 1885.

Originally the center of a major citrus growing region, Orlando is a city now heavily urbanized with various industries. The area is a major tourist destination and is the home of Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld Orlando. Lake Buena Vista, Florida, located 21 miles southwest of downtown Orlando, is the home of Walt Disney World. These attractions form the backbone of Orlando's tourism industry, making the city the third most visited American city[6] in 2007. Like other major cities in the Sun Belt, Orlando grew rapidly during the 1980's and well into the 2000's. Since the establishment of destination tourism in the 1970s, the local economy has diversified and today the region is the center of operations for companies servicing Central Florida. Orlando is also home to the University of Central Florida, the largest university campus by student enrollment in the state of Florida and among the largest in the United States.[7]

In 2008, Orlando was listed as a "high sufficiency" world-city in the World Cities Study Group’s inventory by Loughborough University and is one category away from becoming a Gamma world city. According to Loughborough, Orlando now ranks alongside other cities such as Osaka, Glasgow, and Baltimore[8]
