Civic Center is the area of lower Manhattan, New York City, that encompasses New York City Hall, police headquarters, the courthouses in Foley Square and the surrounding area. The district is bound on the west by Tribeca at Broadway, on the north by Chinatown at Worth Street or Bayard Street, on the east by the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge at South Street, and on the south by the Financial District at Ann Street. ==Land use== Although government-related activities are predominant, other pursuits also occur within the district, including industrial activity, entertainment and warehousing.〔 p.71〕 For example, there are Chinese restaurants near Civic Center's border with Chinatown, in addition to some museums and some residential buildings in the Civic Center area. The area is roughly 10 blocks long and 5 blocks wide, but is far less dense than most of Manhattan, where the average number of residents for an area that size is 35,000; the Civic Center has approximately 20,000 residents. The Jacob K. Javits Federal Building is located in the area. It includes the Federal Bureau of Investigation New York field office.〔"(New York Field Office )." Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The 76-story 8 Spruce Street is among the world's tallest residential buildings. Southbridge Towers, once Mitchell-Lama affordable housing, is now market-rate housing.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Civic Center, Manhattan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
