Commercial area

Areas with mostly commercial buildings

A commercial area, commercial district, or commercial zone is a part of a city or neighborhoods primarily composed of commercial buildings, including districts such as downtowns, central business districts, and financial districts, as well as commercial developments such as shopping centers and strip malls. Commercial activity includes the buying and selling of goods and services in retail businesses, wholesale buying and selling, financial establishments, and a wide variety of activities that are broadly classified as business activities." Although commercial land often occupies a smaller share of urban land than residential areas, they are extremely important to a community's economy. They provide employment, facilitate economic activity and the flow of goods, services, and capital, and often serve many other roles important to the community, such as public gathering and cultural events.
