Downtown

Downtown

The word "city" is a term used mainly in North America to describe the inner city or the central economic area of ​​a city. It was coined in New York City where it was used since about 1830 to refer to the original city at the south end of Manhattan Island. As New York grew larger, the city could only grow north, so the river up. This made everything in the north direction known as "uptown" and corresponding to the south as "downtown". Since many maps are represented in an order, the analogy can be understood as "up" as the direction north and "down" as the direction south. In the 19th century, the concept was gradually adopted by other American and Canadian cities to designate the historic city center. Until 1880 the term did not appear in dictionaries, but was clearly established in the early 1900s as a formal term for the North American city center. For New Yorkers, the terms "uptown" and "uptown" also refer to the direction in which one moves within Manhattan. Das Wort Downtown ist ein Begriff, der hauptsächlich in Nordamerika im Englischen verwendet wird, um die Innenstadt oder den zentralen Wirtschaftsbereich einer Stadt zu bezeichnen. Er wurde in New York City geprägt, wo er seit etwa 1830 verwendet wurde, um auf die ursprüngliche Stadt am Südende der Manhattan-Insel Bezug zu nehmen. Als New York größer wurde, konnte die Stadt nur nach Norden wachsen, also den Fluss hinauf. Dadurch wurde alles in Richtung Norden bekannt als „uptown“ und entsprechend in Richtung Süden als „downtown“. Da viele Landkarten eingenordet dargestellt werden, lässt sich als Analogie auch „up“ als Richtung Norden und „down“ als Richtung Süden verstehen. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde der Begriff nach und nach von anderen amerikanischen und kanadischen Städten übernommen, um den historischen Stadtkern zu bezeichnen. Bis 1880 tauchte der Begriff nicht in Wörterbüchern auf, war aber in den frühen 1900er Jahren deutlich etabliert als Formalbegriff für die nordamerikanische Innenstadt. Für New Yorker bezeichnen die Begriffe Downtown und Uptown auch die Richtung, in der man sich innerhalb Manhattans bewegt.
