Hat note - Miami
editThe hat note at the top of the article links to a list of CBDs and specifically to the Miami CBD. Of all the articles listed in the list of CBDs why would Miami's specifically be so important on its own that we think people will be searching for that one especially when typing "Central Business District" above all others? Is there a reason I am not aware of? Even if we presume it's because its name is Central Business District and others have different names like Down Town..... A very quick look through the list shows several others, including some international capital cities, have articles named Central Business District, like Sudirman, Buenos Aires, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Bangalore, Windhoek, Johannesburg. It seems odd to give special treatment to Miami. I am removing it from the hat note, if I have missed something and there's a reason it should be there, please discus and let me know.

usage of the term
editPeople don't usually refer to their city centres as CBDs. The exception is Australia, where it is very common to use a CBD as a reference point: "this restaurant is only three minutes by car from the CBD." Such as phrase feels very unidiomatic in, say, the US or the UK.
Please discuss the worldwide usage of the article topic. As is, the viewer isn't informed of the difference between it as academic term (regular people don't use it; i.e. the US) and a common-place term (Australian major cities). 84.217.39.2 (talk) 12:46, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
