What many of you people consider multiple downtown cities are what I would consider to be suburb cities. They are cities whose business districts are interrupted by swaths of suburbs.
^^ They're actually called "polycentric cities." Many cities with multiple downtowns have the same amount of suburban land (or less) in their metros than monocentric metros, they just have the urban parts spread out in clusters among more of the total metro area.
In other words, whether a place is polycentric or monocentric has nothing to with how much suburban land use there is.
London and Tokyo are commonly considered "polycentric" and no-one would call them "suburb cities."

LA actually has two areas in the city limits that people refer to as "downtown". The first one is of course downtown and the second is downtown Hollywood. I had never heard of "downtown" Hollywood until a couple of years ago and now hear it fairly often.
I think it would be better to make the question as follows: "WHICH COUNTY HAS THE MOST LARGE DOWNTOWN AREAS?"
Because a CITY is an entity of its own, a city cannot have another city in its possesion. But there can be many cities within a COUNTIES BORDERS. For example, San Diego County is HUGE, it has many cities within its borders...........The City Of San Diego encompasses one city...hehe, that city is The City Of San Diego.

PS: Sorry for the ridiculous post.
I dont know if that would work. Maybe in the west were counties tend to be larger. Dallas County is almost entirely the City of Dallas but it doesn't even contain the whole city of Dallas for example and I am sure counties get much smaller the further east you go so that wouldn't work everywhere. The best way is either city or metro.
