Central Business District usually - mainly the commuter centre for a town or city, but is often used interchangably with "town/city centre" or "high street".

edit: London for example - the City of London or the Square Mile would be the CBD, but it would probably be used to describe somewhere like Oxford Street as well.

Orlando is the prime example of having a CBD rather than having a main shopping district in the city centre.
