It is often synonymous with its central business district (CBD). Downtowns typically contain a small percentage of a city’s employment.

Folkpark
In Sweden, a folkpark (approximately "peoples park" in English) is a public recreation space, usually featuring large grassed areas, trees, children's play facilities, etc. Most towns and cities have a folkpark. These parks were originally created by the labour movement as places where political rallies could be held and where workers and their families could unwind. In larger folkparks, there is sometimes a bandstand or stage, and they are used for concerts and other entertainment. Summer folkpark tours are a traditional part of the touring circuit for bands, etc. ''folkpark.nu''. Retrieved: November 23, 2014. See also * * |
