CBD在中国被神话了,成了通过政绩工程大搞贪腐的借口
CBD不过是对市中心区或商业中心的另一种解释罢了,没有什么大不了的
wiki上对CBD的解释:
The CBD or downtown is the central district of a city, usually typified by a concentration of retail and commercial buildings. Although applicable to any city, both terms usually refer to larger cities only.
The term 'city centre' (or 'city center') is similar to CBD or downtown in that both serve the same purpose for the city, and both are seen by a higher-than-usual urban density as well as the often having the tallest buildings in a city. 'City centre' differs from 'downtown' in that Downtown can be geographically located anywhere in a city, while city centre is generally located near the geographic heart of the city. Examples of city centres can be found in Bangkok , Beirut, Jakarta, London, Manila, Melbourne, Moscow, Paris, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, S?o Paulo, Sydney, San Bernardino, California and many other cities. London effectively has two city centres rolled into one, namely the City of London and the medieval City of Westminster. Lucknow, India, has three CBDs. The shape and type of a CBD or downtown will almost always closely reflect that city's history. Cities with maximum building height restrictions will often have a separate historic section quite apart from the financial and administrative district. By contrast in regions where the city grew up suddenly and recently, such as in the western half of North America, a single central area will often contain all the tallest buildings. In this way it has been said that downtowns as understood in North America are therefore a separate phenomenon.
Central business districts usually have very small resident populations. For example, the population of the City of London declined from over 200,000 in 1700 to less than 10,000 today. In some instances, however, particularly in large Australian cities, CBD populations are to some extent increasing, since younger professional and business workers are moving into city centre apartments.
