Area of a town or city where most of the commercial activity is found. This area is dominated by shops, offices, entertainment venues, and local-government buildings. Usually the CBD is characterized by high rents and rates, tall buildings, and chain stores, and is readily accessible to pedestrians. It may also occupy the historic centre of the city and is often located where transport links meet.
