Melbourne City Centre (also known colloquially as simply “The City” or “The CBD”) is an area of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
It is the area in which Melbourne was established in 1835, by John Batman and John Pascoe Fawkner, and its boundaries are defined by
the Government of Victoria’s Melbourne Planning Scheme.[5] Today it comprises the two oldest areas of Melbourne; the Hoddle Grid and Queen Victoria Market,
as well as sections of the redeveloped areas of Docklands and Southbank/South Wharf. It is not to be confused with the larger local government
area of the City of Melbourne.
It is the core central activities district (CAD) of Melbourne’s inner suburbs and the major central business district (CBD)
of Greater Melbourne’s metropolitan area, and is a major financial centre in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
The Hoddle Grid in the City Centre is home to Melbourne’s famed alleyways and arcades and is renowned for its distinct blend of contemporary and
Victorian architecture as well as expansive parks and gardens which surround its edges.[6] The City Centre is home to five of the six tallest buildings in Australia.
In recent times, it has been placed alongside New York City and Berlin as one of the world’s great street art meccas, and designated a “City of Literature”
by UNESCO in its Creative Cities Network.
