business districts
Where offices cluster
Business districts are areas within a city or town characterized by a concentration of commercial activity, offices, retail establishments, and professional services.
The term most commonly refers to central business districts or downtowns, where the highest density of commerce and employment occurs, though suburban business districts have proliferated as cities spread outward.
