Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central business district (CBD) is typically located at the intersection of major transportation routes, including roads, highways, railways, and airports. This allows easy access to the CBD for people, goods, and services, and makes it a convenient location for businesses that rely on transportation. The CBD typically contains a high concentration of office buildings, retail shops, hotels, and other commercial establishments. It is not usually the headquarters for national government (B), nor does it contain many factories (D) or high residential densities (E). The zone in transition, which is an area of mixed land use and changing social and economic characteristics, may be located adjacent to the CBD but is not part of it (A).
