How do you convert down/mid/up towns to British English?

  • Core (less than 2 km2) part of city; usually the financial district
    • American: downtown + city name
    • British: city name + city centre
  • Urban (between city centre and suburb)
    • American: midtown + city name
    • British: city name + urban area
  • Outer part of city; zone for housing complexes and parks
    • American: uptown + city name
    • British: suburban + city name

  • Are you speaking generally, or in a scienfic context. Could you give some examples of the sentences that you want to say. – James K Feb 09 '21 at 08:33

  • @James K Speaking generally. I am finding equivalent words between American and British English such as backpack/rucksack, line/queue, apartment/flat. – Bósài Feb 09 '21 at 14:53
