Lower ManhattanLower Manhattan, also known as Downtown Manhattan or Downtown New York City, is the southernmost part of Manhattan, the central borough for business and culture, and the neighborhood is the historical birthplace, and serves as the seat of government, of New York City itself. Because there are no municipally defined boundaries for the neighborhood, a precise population cannot be quoted, but several sources have suggested that it was one of the fastest-growing locations in New York City between 2010 and 2020, related to the influx of young adults and significant development of new housing units.Despite various definitions of Lower Manhattan, they generally include the area on Manhattan Island delineated to the north by 14th Street, to the west by the Hudson River, to the east by East River, and to the south by New York Harbor. The Lower Manhattan business district, known as the Financial District or Wall Street, is a world-leading global center for finance, fintech, and other commerce, housing Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, and Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and other major financial institutions. Lower Manhattan is home to many of New York City's most iconic buildings, including One World Trade Center, the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere.
