A Central Business District (CBD) is a highly concentrated area of comercial activities which forms an economic and population density core in a city or region. In some cities, CBD is called financial district and usually includes many types of companies and commercial entrepreneurship. In this example, I show the footwear and food markets CBD in Colombia and Perú, specifically in the capitals (Bogotá and Lima), where we can see the highest concentration in the colored areas.
