financial districts
Urban banking hubs
Financial districts are the areas of cities where banks, stock exchanges, and other financial institutions concentrate.
Most major cities have one: Wall Street in New York, the City of London, the Marunouchi district in Tokyo.
The term often appears in discussions of urban geography and economic power: Property values in financial districts tend to be among the highest in any city.
