For Manhattan, Midtown is the middle of the island (often in or around the skyscraper business district). Uptown the upper Manhattan. Downtown is the lower part. Downtown and Uptown are often just used as a direction "going uptown" = north on the island, "going downtown" = south on the island. Those Manhattan pictures I posted were "downtown" in the sense of being in the center city but only the last might be what would be called downtown (since it's the southmost view). And none are really quite in a CBD, though there are plenty of jobs in the area.
great for packing as many offices together in one place, but London is far better at have cozy side streets while remaining a big city. Some of these were formerly garment factories. Impressive in scale but a rather bland and the traffic is loud. One of my parent's office is right nearby:
One thing I noticed from the London views is that while Manhattan is newer overall, in the center city, excluding skyscrapers London appears to have more new buildings. Manhattan is mostly from the first half of the 20th century, with some scattered older and newer buildings.

Wow quite shocked by that comment! I would of assumed NYC was more modern but you may be right.

Manhattan also has side streets -- most of the numbered roads (ie. heading east-west) are quite narrow and can't really be considered thoroughfares
