Downtown Cleveland
Downtown Cleveland is the central business district of the City of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, United States. It is the economic and symbolic center of the Cleveland-Akron-Canton, OH Combined Statistical Area. As of 2000, 100,000 people worked in the district;〔http://www.demographia.com/db-cbd2000.pdf〕 as of 2012, it contained more than 16 million square feet of rentable office space.〔http://www.downtowncleveland.com/media/82160/q4_2012_final.pdf〕
Reinvestment in the area in the mid-1990s spurred a rebirth that continues to this day, with the residential population growing from 7,261 in 1990 to 9,599 in 2000 and 11,693 in 2010.〔http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/cwp/pop_trend.php〕 It had the largest population growth, by percentage, of any Cleveland neighborhood over that time and is Ohio's most populous downtown. Between 2010 and 2014, it saw more than $4.5 billion in residential and commercial developments.〔http://www.downtowncleveland.com/media/212670/Q1_2014.pdf〕 In 2012, Forbes included Downtown Cleveland in a list of "15 U.S. Cities Emerging Downtown".〔http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mhj45eddgl/cleveland-ohio/〕
== Public Square ==
(詳細はPublic Square was laid out by city founder Moses Cleaveland in 1796 and has remained largely unchanged.〔Cleveland: A Concise History, 1796-1996 (pg 7), 1997〕 It consists of a large open space, cut into quadrants by Ontario Street and Superior Avenue. Public Square is the symbolic heart of the city, and has hosted presidents, vast congregations of people, and a free annual 4th of July concert by the Cleveland Orchestra. At one time, Public Square was fenced off and inaccessible to vehicles. In 1860, the Perry Monument, a memorial to Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry's victory in the Battle of Lake Erie in the War of 1812, was dedicated in the center of Public Square. In 1892, it was moved out of the square, which by then had the fences removed after lobbying by commercial interests. Public Square is also home to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, which commemorates residents of Cuyahoga County who served in the Civil War. Public Square also features a statue of Cleaveland; a statue of Tom L. Johnson, the city's most famous mayor; a large amount of shrubbery and other landscaping; and a large public fountain.〔(Encyclopedia of Cleveland History: Public Square ).

The west side of Public Square was to become the headquarters of the Cleveland Trust Company, then called Ameritrust, but the project was cancelled after Ameritrust was purchased and merged into Key Bank, leaving that side of the square open to this day, with only a surface parking lot on the site.〔(Ameritrust Center ). Accessed May 12, 2007.〕 The classic Higbee's department store building is home to the Cleveland Horseshoe Casino, since its opening on May 14, 2012.〔http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2012/05/ohio_begins_casino_gambling_er.html〕
