Bangalore CBD, MG Road is seen.

The central business district of Bangalore is the area within a 6 km radius around Vidhan Soudha.[citation needed] This is the center of Bangalore and was founded by Kempegowda of the Vijayanagara Empire. Most of the land is used by commercial establishments and the Indian Army with plans of skyscrapers under works. It has multiple high-rises including World Trade Center Bangalore and UB Tower. It also includes heritage properties like the Bangalore Fort and the Bangalore Pete.

The Collection in UB City is one of the first luxury shopping malls of South India. The land in CBD is expensive; Brigade Road and MG Road are amongst the most expensive in India.[1][dubiousdiscuss] It also houses many other high streets including Commercial Street and Church Street as well as the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce. CBD is a tourist attraction as there are parks, government offices, educational institutions, business houses and hotels, shopping destinations, stadiums, museums, temples, mosques, churches, art galleries and entertainment zones.
