A '''central business district''' ('''CBD''') is the [[Commerce|commercial]] and [[business]] center of a city. It contains commercial space and offices, and in larger cities will often be described as a [[financial district]]. Geographically, it often coincides with the "[[city centre]]" or "[[downtown]]". However, these concepts are not necessarily synonymous: many cities have a '''central ''business'' district''' located away from its traditional city center, and there may be multiple CBDs within a single urban area. The CBD will often be highly accessible and have a large variety and concentration of specialised goods and services compared to other parts of the city.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Murphy |first=Raymond E. |title=The Central Business District: A Study in Urban Geography (chapter 1) |year=1972 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-351-48543-2 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9h8xDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT19 |access-date=14 March 2023 |archive-date=22 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230422105630/https://books.google.com/books?id=9h8xDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT19 |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Midtown Manhattan]] is the world's largest central business district. In the [[City of London]], the largest concentration of economic output in the world is held there, with many headquarters of major financial and law firms being based in the City.
[[File:Chicago downtown view from Sears.JPG|thumb|The [[Chicago Loop]], the second largest central business district in the United States.]]
In [[Chicago]], the [[Chicago Loop]] is the second-largest central business district in the United States. It is also referred to as the core of the city's downtown.
 
[[Mexico City]] also has its own [[Historic center of Mexico City|historic city center]], the colonial era "Centro Histórico", along with two CBDs: the mid-late 20th century [[Paseo de la Reforma]] in [[Polanco]], and the new [[Santa Fe (Mexico City)|Santa Fe]], respectively. [[Russia]]'s largest central business district is the [[Moscow International Business Center]] in [[Moscow]].

The shape and type of a central business district almost always closely reflect the city's history. Cities with strong [[Historic preservation|preservation]] laws and maximum building height restrictions to retain the character of the historic and cultural core may have a CBD quite a distance from the city centre (and in some cases, outside the city limits itself). This distinction is quite common in European cities such as: [[London]], [[Paris]], [[Moscow]], [[Vienna]], [[Prague]] and [[Budapest]]. The [[New World]] grew quickly after the emergence of modern transport, therefore a single centre often included many of the region's tallest buildings and served as both a commercial and cultural city centre.

In the 21st century, increasing [[urbanisation]] has led to the development of [[Megacity|megacities]] that often have multiple CBDs scattered across the urban area. Downtown sections of cities, especially in [[North America]], often are distinct from CBDs and city centres.<ref>"[http://www.economist.com/world/na/displaystory.cfm?story_id=E1_RSRQGRD Reviving American downtowns] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071220134134/http://www.economist.com/world/na/displaystory.cfm?story_id=E1_RSRQGRD |date=20 December 2007 }}".

== Australia ==
In [[Australia]], the term CBD is widely used officially and colloquially, in the sense of city centre. The three biggest cities, [[Sydney]], [[Melbourne]] and [[Brisbane]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/regional-population/2020-21#capital-cities|title=Regional Population|publisher=[[Australian Bureau of Statistics]]|language=en|access-date=25 April 2022|archive-date=29 April 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220429162914/https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/regional-population/2020-21#capital-cities|url-status=live}}</ref> have large CBDs. Sydney features growing micro central business districts, which serve as the hub for their respective areas outside the CBD. An example is [[Parramatta]] (which is considered the financial hub of [[Western Sydney]]), [[Chatswood, New South Wales|Chatswood]] and [[North Sydney]]. Also on the outskirts of Brisbane, within ''Brisbane-Gold Coast urban area'' with a population of three million,<ref name="demographia">[http://www.demographia.com/db-worldua.pdf Demographia: World Urban Areas] – Demographia, 08.2023</ref> a new micro [[Gold Coast central business district|central business district]] being created in [[Southport, Queensland|Southport]].

== Brazil ==
[[São Paulo]] is a multipolar city, with several business districts. [[Avenida Faria Lima]] and the neighboring districts, [[Itaim Bibi]] and [[Vila Olímpia]], now concentrate a large part of the financial activities in São Paulo and [[Brazil]]. [[Avenida Paulista]] and nearby streets is a well-established financial center that has several banking offices and corporate headquarters, as well as hospitals. Its [[Historic Center of São Paulo|Historic Center]] was the city's first business center; There, the [[B3 (stock exchange)|São Paulo Stock Exchange]] is located. The region comprising Avenidas Berrini, Doutor Chucri Zaidan, and Nações Unidas, the city's newest commercial district, has offices of multinational companies and also commercial services.

In [[Rio de Janeiro]], Brazil's second-largest city, the main business district still is in downtown, where [[Petrobrás]] and Vale headquarters are located, but there is a concentration of business in [[Botafogo]] harbor and in [[Barra da Tijuca]], a newer Rio de Janeiro suburb located in city's west region.

== Germany ==
[[File:Frankfurt Am Main-Stadtansicht von der Deutschherrnbruecke zu Beginn der Abenddaemmerung.jpg|thumb|Central business district of [[Frankfurt]], Germany]]
In [[Germany]], the terms ''Innenstadt'' and ''Stadtzentrum'' may be used to describe the central business district. These terms can be literally translated as "[[inner city]]" and "city center". Some of the [[metropolitan regions in Germany|larger cities]] have more than one central business district. For example, [[Berlin]] alone has three.{{Cn|date=March 2024}}

Due to Berlin's history of division during the [[Cold War]], the city contains central business districts both in West ([[Kurfürstendamm]]) and in East Berlin ([[Alexanderplatz]]), as well as a newly built business district near the [[Potsdamer Platz]]. The city's [[Mitte (locality)|historic center]] (home to the [[Reichstag building]], as well as the [[Brandenburg Gate]] and most federal ministries) was largely abandoned when the [[Berlin Wall]] cut through the area. Only after the reunification with the redevelopment of [[Potsdamer Platz]], and the construction of numerous shopping centers, government ministries, embassies, office buildings and entertainment venues, was the area revived.

In [[Frankfurt|Frankfurt am Main]]'s city center, there is a business district called the "[[Bankenviertel]]".

In [[Düsseldorf]], there is a business district which is located around the famous high street [[Königsallee]] with banks, shops and offices.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/duesseldorf/mischung-macht-das-zentrum-einzigartig-aid-1.4753856 |title=Düsseldorfs Central Business District: Mischung macht das Zentrum einzigartig |author=Thorsten Breitkopf |work=RP ONLINE |date=21 December 2014 |access-date=13 December 2015 |archive-date=12 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170912005551/http://www.rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/duesseldorf/mischung-macht-das-zentrum-einzigartig-aid-1.4753856 |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Hong Kong ==
Traditionally, the Central Business District "CBD" of [[Hong Kong]] is [[Central, Hong Kong|Central]], where many multinational [[Financial institution|financial services corporations]] have their headquarters.{{cn|date=June 2024}} Consulates general and consulates of many countries are also located in this area, as is [[Government Hill]], the site of the old government headquarters.{{cn|date=June 2024}} As the Hong Kong SAR Government Headquarters moved to Tamar, Admiralty, the nearby area is also considered part of the CBD. 

In [[Quarry Bay]], [[Taikoo Place]] and areas nearby, including [[Admiralty, Hong Kong|Admiralty]], [[Wan Chai]] and [[Causeway Bay]], and [[Tsim Sha Tsui]], [[Kwun Tong]], and [[Kowloon Bay]] are regarded as major business districts of Hong Kong.{{cn|date=June 2024}}

==Italy==
In [[Italy]], business districts do not coincide with the geographical centers of the city because the city center is the historical center of the city, and usually not very suitable to function as a modern business district.{{Original research inline|date=March 2024}}

A precursor to modern business districts is [[EUR, Rome|EUR]] in [[Rome]], which is now home to several national and international companies and public bodies.

The EUR, the [[Centro direzionale di Napoli|Napoli business district]], the [[Centro Direzionale di Milano|Milan business district]], and [[CityLife (Milan)|City Life]], are among the most important commercial areas in Italy. Other important business and financial centers are present in [[San Benigno (Genoa)|Genoa]] and [[Brescia Due|Brescia]].

== Taiwan ==
In [[Taiwan]], the term "city centre" ({{zh|t=市中心}}) is often used instead of central business district, but a different commercial district outside of the historic core is typically labelled a CBD ({{zh|t=中心商業區}}), "financial district" ({{zh|t=金融貿易區}}), or "Yolk area" ({{zh|t=蛋黃區}}). Taiwan also has many traditional central business districts.

In [[Taipei]], the capital city of [[Taiwan]], the area around its [[Taipei Station|main railway station]], including the [[Taipei West District Gateway Project]], is regarded as Taipei's historic centre; it is home to many of Taiwan's national government buildings, including the [[Presidential Office Building, Taipei|Presidential Office]], the [[Executive Yuan]], the [[Control Yuan]], the [[Legislative Yuan]], the [[Judicial Yuan]], and various government ministries.

The second main district, in the central part Taipei, is the [[Xinyi Special District]], which was developed mostly in the 1990s, and has emerged as Taipei's financial, political, and commercial center. The district includes the greatest concentration of corporate headquarters and offices in Taipei and is amongst the nation's largest shopping districts. It also includes many of Taipei's tallest skyscrapers, including the {{convert|509.2|m|adj=on|sp=us}}-tall [[Taipei 101]], [[Taipei Nan Shan Plaza]], and [[Fubon Xinyi A25]].<ref name="Xinyi Commercial District">{{Cite web|url=https://english.gov.taipei/cp.aspx?n=402B57FB0F908E53|title=About Xinyi District|website=Taipei City Government|language=en|access-date=26 September 2020|archive-date=22 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200922185223/https://english.gov.taipei/cp.aspx?n=402B57FB0F908E53|url-status=live}}</ref>

Taipei's third business district, [[Nangang District, Taipei|Nangang District]], is situated in the very east of the city. Nangang was developed in the early 21st century and is the seat of the [[Academia Sinica]], [[Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall]], and [[Nankang Software Park]] (NKSP).

[[Greater Taipei]] serves as a multi-central [[metropolitan area]], and a few other areas have become important business districts, including [[Daan District, Taipei|Daan District]], [[Xinban Special District]], [[Neihu District]] and [[Xinzhuang Sub-city Center]], which is considered to have the potential to emerge as a major commercial district in Taiwan, functioning in synergy with nearby [[Sanchong District]] and [[Wugu District]].

In [[Taichung]], Taiwan's second-largest city after Taipei, the central business district is [[Taichung's 7th Redevelopment Zone]]. It features broad and widely spaced boulevards, attractive apartments, department stores, and office towers, which are brightly lit at night.

In [[Kaohsiung]], Taiwan's harbour city, the central business district is [[Asia New Bay Area]], which is home to the city's tallest skyscrapers, including [[85 Sky Tower]] and [[Farglory THE ONE]] and [[Port of Kaohsiung]], the nation's largest port.
