Downtown

Midtown Manhattan (foreground) in New York City is the largest central business district in the world and the most populous residential district in the Western Hemisphere.[1]

Downtown is a term primarily used in North America by English speakers to refer to a city's sometimes commercial, cultural and often the historical, political, and geographic heart. It is often synonymous with its central business district (CBD). Downtowns typically contain a small percentage of a city's employment.[2][3] Sometimes, smaller downtowns are surrounded by lower population densities and lower incomes than suburbs.[4][5] It is often distinguished as a hub of public transit and culture.[6]
