The world's flashiest financial centers​

A central business district (CBD) is the commercial and business center of a city. In larger cities, a CBD is often synonymous with the city's financial hub. Geographically, it usually coincides with the city center, or a downtown zone. And nearly always, a CBD is representative of modern, cutting-edge architecture that is visually stunning in grandeur and characterized by gleaming skyscrapers of astonishing height and contemporary aesthetic.
