When I searched for the right term a also stubled open Central
Business District but I would never apply it to a center, as I don't
care much about Business, and the centers of european cities deserve
more than that actually. City centres and town centres are a little
bit more emphasized though, than "Kerngebiet", which is an exact term
in German legislation and applies as well to densely used mixed areas
that would not be called "city centre", because they aren't "in the
center".
