Central Business District - the area of any large
city or even
town where the aspect of the region is more
business than
retail or
residential. Typically the CBD is deserted outside of
business hours. The CBD of a city is primarily the most
expensive area to purchase floor space, and has a mixture of
high tech buildings and small
parks for relaxation of the
workers during their
lunch breaks.
Modern CBDs now have an aspect of being central to the city, and have an increasing interest in after hours activities being placed on them, like nightclubs, restaurants, theatres and cinemas providing a more central location for a night out.
