City centre
A city centre (or city center) is the commercial, cultural and often the historical, political and geographic heart of a city.
==Overview and related concepts==
The city centre is the (often historical) area of a city where commerce, entertainment, shopping and political power are concentrated. The term is commonly used in many English-speaking countries, and has direct equivalents in many other languages. However, notably, in the United States, the term "downtown" is commonly used to denote a city centre, while in Canada the terms "city centre" and "downtown" are used interchangeably. In Australia, the term "Central Business District" is widely used to refer to the city centre, but usage of the term "City Centre" is increasing, especially in Melbourne.
While in many cities, the Central Business District (CBD) is within the city centre, the concept "city centre" differs from the CBD. The concept of the "CBD" solely revolves around economic and financial power, while the "city centre" also includes historical, political and cultural factors. A clear example is Paris: La Défense is the central business district of Paris, but is not the city centre. In most larger and/or older cities, the CBD and the city centre will only partially overlap, if at all.
A city centre is often the first settled part of a city, which can make it the most historical part of a city.
