Buenos Aires CBD
The Buenos Aires Central Business District is the main commercial centre of Buenos Aires, Argentina, though not an official city ward. While the '' barrios'' of Puerto Madero and Retiro house important business complexes and modern high-rise architecture, the area traditionally known as ''Microcentro'' (Spanish: Microcenter) is located within San Nicolás and Monserrat, roughly coinciding with the area around the historic center of the Plaza de Mayo. The ''Microcentro'' has a wide concentration of offices, service companies and banks, and a large circulation of pedestrians on working days.
