Downtown Areas

 I stumbled upon an interesting article on developing downtowns. Here it is: https://www.bdcnetwork.com/investing-downtowns-pays-cities-regions?page=3

Linden's downtown area is, of course, not as established/developed. Linden is a small town that depended on bauxite as its main source of income. The bauxite company's office buildings and other facilities were probably the downtown area.
