Sydney's Central Business District (CBD) extends about 2 kilometers (1.25 miles) south from Sydney Bay, the first European colony.

There are many skyscrapers and historic sandstone buildings, such as Sydney City Hall and Queen Victoria Building, decorated with parks such as Wynyard Park and Hyde Park.

In the east of the central business district, there are a series of parks-Hyde Park, Victoria Park, Royal Botanical Garden and Farm Bay in Sydney Harbour.

The central business district is adjacent to Darling Harbour, a tourist resort, in the west and Central Railway Station in the south.

George street is a north-south street in Sydney's central business district.

In the south of the central business district, the streets are slightly grid-like and orderly; On the contrary, in the north of the older central business district, the streets are messy, which reflects the special development of Zhangzi Trail in early Sydney.

The streets in Sydney are narrower than those in other cities in Australia, which also reflects the characteristics of Australia's first ancient city.

Although Sydney's central business district was the commercial and cultural pillar of Sydney in the early days, other commercial/cultural districts have been developing continuously since World War II.

Therefore, after World War II, the proportion of white-collar jobs in the Central Business District dropped from over 60% to less than 30% in 2004.

The five most important outer ring business districts in Sydney include Hurstville in the south, Parramatta in the midwest, Blacktown in the west, Liverpool in the southwest, Chazwood in the north and North Sydney in the north of Sydney Harbour.
