	Core city - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Core cities are cities of Japan designated by Article 252, Clause 22 and the first term of the Local Autonomy Law.
		The city is designated through the submission from the city and approvals from the assemblies of the city and the prefecture.
		Core cities are delegated many functions normally carried out by prefectural governments, but not as many as Designated Cities.

	Central business district - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		City centre is also a term used in some urban areas of Canada.
		The term city centre (or center city) is similar to CBD or downtown in that both serve the same purpose for the city, and both are seen by a higher-than-usual urban density as well as the often having the tallest buildings in a city.
		City centre differs from downtown in that downtown can be geographically located anywhere in a city, while city centre is located near the geographic heart of the city.

		The core area is generally bounded by Broadway to the east, 33rd Street to the south, W. Marine View Drive to the west and in some places as far as 24th Street to the north.
		Ned Johnston, assistant city attorney, said the city of Tacoma helped initiate the law, and was the first city to jump onboard after the Legislature adopted it in 1995.
		The city's growth management comprehensive plan calls for at least 100 new residential units per year in the downtown area, which is a broader area than the urban core, Koenig said.

	The Future of the Center: The Core City in the New Economy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Symbolically, the new center city is not so much defined by the high-rise corporate headquarters as by the revived warehouse or former manufacturing district, where older buildings have been brought back to full use as offices for information and fashion-related businesses.
		The city center is in a period of profound and dramatic change, evolving into something that reflects the broader dynamics of the digital era and shifting demographic trends.
		Ultimately, the revival of the urban core, whether in the traditional city or the more dispersed model common to the sunbelt agglomerations, stems from a search for a sense of place and history amidst a society in which the barriers of time and space are under constant assault.

	SHAME OF THE CITY / The hard core stuck on street
		Estimates of the overall homeless population in San Francisco range from the 8,600 tallied in the city's 2002 one-day count to a figure of 15,000 used by homeless advocates.
		But city officials admitted the figure was approximate at best -- and the city's Coalition on Homelessness maintains that the annual counts always fall short by about half.
		San Francisco is easily at the top of the list of large American cities in the percentage of homeless people: The city's homeless population is 12,500 - according to the rough estimate submitted by the city to the federal government - although different organizations have put the number between 8, 600 and 15,000.

		"Cities are organic, and urban renewal was one of the worst concepts," offers John Cunningham, a prominent architect and developer downtown, decrying the raze-and-rebuild philosophies of the past.
		The city's once-famous Gateway district was demolished after post-depression fallout turned it into a notorious skid row--in 1957, nearly a third of downtown real estate was slated for redevelopment.
		From then on, "urban renewal" became the watchword for the city's core, and countless rundown buildings, hotels, and apartments were swept away in favor of high-rises and workplaces.

	New City Fellowship: Core Values: Gospel Sonship
		Adoption is in a continuous state of revision and improvement, but its essential focus has been to assist believers to rediscover the gospel, and then to learn how to actually live out of the gospel in a life of repentance and faith.
		This core truth should never be obscured by efforts to understand what is revealed in the gospel in the chapters that follow.
		Probably a little less than half the core team (about 40 adults) really grabbed hold of this essential issue: the Gospel is the central driving force in the life of the believer and the church.

	SAN FRANCISCO / Homeless move west from city's urban core / Some would rather change their address than change ways
		Sutro is one of new breed of homeless migrants.
		Court records show police writing more tickets for illegal camping in city parks outside the downtown core, and homeless advocates point to the trend as proof that the city's biennial homeless count in February was wrong when it showed the population dropped by more than 2,000.
		The coalition says the camping tickets show the winter homeless count was wrong in reflecting a 28 percent dip in the city's homeless population since 2002, from 8,640 to 6,248.

	Core Cities
		However, the Core Cities agenda moves beyond the current renewal of interest in cities and their cultures to a concept which has had little consideration within Britain, but which is widely understood on the continent and in the United States – the City-region (see Appendix 1 for a definition of the English City-regions).
		It would be based upon a clear understanding of the different roles and functions of the city centre vis-à-vis the suburban and sub-regional centres, leading to a planned concentration of key cultural assets in the city centre.
		Such cities are invariably the focus of migrants and the input of new ideas flowing from this tends to make them more creative than their hinterlands.

		The core city figures will be labeled as “Indianapolis (core)” and these estimates will be consistent in scope with previously published estimates for Indianapolis.
		The population difference between the two city definitions is not large; it works out to about 10,000 people added to the 2000 census population of the core city of about 782,000.

	NARPAC, Inc. ARCHIVED DOCUMENT- PLANNING--THE HEART OF THE CITY'S FUTURE
		There is no longer term focus, no grand design for the nation's capital metro area, no concept of the core city's role in that metro area, no evident sense of the city's socioeconomic needs, and no vision of the role of future metro cores in the further evolution of the world's newest socioeconomic entity--the "metro-state".
		The city will never become financially competitive with its suburbs until means are found to level the metro area playing field by sharing its responsibilities to those in poverty.
		Blighted areas, as they are euphemistically called, (as well as the city's thousands of individual blighted properties and "brownfield" sites) must be eliminated by a major program clearly designed to benefit both the larger socioeconomic interests of the city, and the very personal interests of those trapped in blight.

		In the 1780s the city purchased a parcel of eight acres for use as a potter’s field and public gallows, at what is now Washington Square Park.
		The comparative seclusion of the area began to erode when outbreaks of yellow fever and cholera beset the core city in 1799, 1803, 1805, and 1821.

		These cities may have used the same brick and mortar, and copied New York’s sense of style, but their economic hearts were sustained not by trade or artisanal activities, but the demands of mass manufacturers, their suppliers, and executive elites.
		Cities, with their increasingly diverse populations and concentrations of air, sea, and land transportation infrastructure, are natural beneficiaries of this trend.
		Cities in this sense are highly individualistic; some use their traditional centers for such activity, but others, often for historical reasons, see much of their immigrant-driven development dispersed, although in often highly concentrated, smaller "central" districts.

	Subdivisions
		From the city's beginnings, land was one of Chicago's most attractive commodities, and sales and speculation in real estate were among the earliest trades to flourish.
		A large grant of land was given to the state of Illinois in 1822 to finance construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal.
		Continued growth of residential subdivisions, expressway construction, and the emergence of high-tech industries have converted some of Chicago's far-flung suburbs into a ring of edge cities that compete economically with the center.
