Downtown: Main financial center, lots of tourist attractions, lots of public housing and homeless people
Midtown: A few blocks away from downtown, lots of shopping, housing and hotels
Uptown: Buckhead is Atlanta's "uptown district". It is a mainly residential area filled with shopping, housing and other businesses

Midtown and Buckhead each have nearly as much office space as downtown.
Buckhead (below) has lots of single family neighborhoods but has been heavily developed along its commercial corridors.
What's considered to be "Uptown" in Philly is debatable. Some say it's Germantown while other say it's Lower North Philly. Philly doesn't have a midtown but University City is basically the downtown area for West Philly.
East boundary: Broadway
West: Speer
South: Colfax
Northwestish: 20th St. from Broadway to Lawrence; Lawrence from 20th to Speer
Should show up brown on the map, then you can enlarge it.
******************************************
Lower downtown (LoDo) Not an official neighborhood, not on denver.gov LoDo, Denver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia **The B-7 zoned historic district is roughly bordered by:
Cherry Creek/Speer Boulevard
Wewatta Street (excluding Union Station)
20th Street
The alley between Market and Larimer Streets
When referring to the greater LoDo area, people often include adjacent neighborhoods that are not a part of the official historic district, but encompass LoDo's sphere of influence. This unofficial greater area includes Larimer Square, the Auraria Campus, Riverfront Park, the Central Platte Valley, the Prospect district, River North, and the Ballpark neighborhoods.**
LoDo is located in north central Denver, directly northwest of the downtown CBD, near the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River.
************************************************
Uptown: Just east of the CBD, Broadway on the west to Downing on the east, Colfax on the south to 20th Ave on the north, then 20th Ave to Park to Downing. (Also called North Capitol Hill, see denver.gov) North Capitol Hill, Denver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you are not familiar with the Buckhead section of the northern part of Atlanta, Ga. then you might be mislead by the posted photo .
These are not office buildings for the most part but condos and hotels.
It is a major shopping and nightlife area and use to be the city's premiere residential area until all the commerce moved in and changed that a bit. But never a major business center like midtown, and doesn't have the land to even attempt that kind of growth.

Little off topic here, but I had no idea Philly was so impressive to look at. Being in the heart of downtown almost looks like a mini-NYC. It's a very dense and urban city, possibly more urban/dense than Chicago in some aspects. Thanks for sharing these.

Yeah, a lot has change over the past 10-15 years in regards to the city adding more highrises. People who haven't been to Philly don't usually realize just how large and dense the city actually is and that it has amazing urban architecture that rivals even cities like Chicago.

This ain't your daddy's Buckhead, however.
Buckhead has 16.0 million sf of Class A office space (compared to 15 million sf in downtown and 15.5 million sf in Midtown). It's regarded by many as the city's financial district.
Granted, there are also many large hotels and condo towers, and two mega shopping centers (Lenox and Phipps). But most of what you see in that photo is office buildings. That's looking south and there's similar development to the north.
A number of new apartment towers are under construction and a couple of new office towers seem imminent.
I have noticed some cities, mostly very large cities, have certain classifications for areas of the cities, known as downtown, midtown, and uptown. Now, almost every town or city has a downtown. In my mind, downtown is usually the older part of the city, where many of the businesses or corporations chose to place their offices. Downtown is mostly commercial dominated, with some condos or apartments in the area, and little to no housing.
What exactly are midtown and uptown???
Downtown === is a location used to describe where town is by people
who live on hills above town ... or North of town.
We are going downtown.
Midtown === is a location used to describe by people
who live in the center of town.
I live in the heart, center, or middle of town.
Uptown === is a location used to describe where town is by people
who live in the low lands below a town or ... South of town.
We are going up to town and shop.
