哈德逊广场位于曼哈顿中城西区,是纽约迄今为止最大的开发项目,是一个超大的郊区风格的办公园区。Facebook、亚马逊、Google都在此有办公区域,似乎每个科技品牌都想在此办公。

This is Hudson Yards.

Late in 2019, Facebook completed a lease for over 1.5 million square feet of space across three buildings in the area.

Amazon also has an office down the street.

And if you go further down the Hudson River, you'll find a cluster of buildings leased or owned by Google.

It seems like everyone in tech wants a piece of New York City's West Side.

- There's a reason that most of the major big tech brand platforms are based in a few places.

- Agglomeration is the tendency of economic activity to gather, or cluster, or clump together.
