"Light Industry"? or simply "Business District (or Zone)"?

Commercial or industrial zoning
Explanation:
Jeg spurgte, hvilken type erhverv, der er tale om, fordi der - i hvert fald her i Canada - er tale om forskellige typer 'zoning', dvs. område. Industrial er f.eks. trælaster, forhandlere af døre/vinduer, etc. - commercial er mere kontorer og forretninger. Derfor spurgte jeg om mere kontekst :)

Håber, du kan bruge noget af dette.

Hvis der er tale om kommunens planlægning skal nu netop bruge udtrykkene 'zoning' eller 'zone' frem for 'district' eller 'area'. Der er forskel på, om du bruger kommunens juridiske lingo eller den almene borgers henvisning til et bestemt område i byen.

Explanation:
(I would not change the author's use of a plural.)
"erhverv-" does not mean "industrial" in my experience.

Wikipedia info re "industrial district" -- refers to manufacturing. Industrial district was initially introduced as a term to describe an area where workers of a monolithic heavy industry (ship-building, coal mining, steel, ceramics, etc.) live within walking-distance of their places of work. ... Within the study of economics, the term has evolved and now implies the ways in which economic specialisation arises through clustering in a particular industry-zoned urban area.

Wikipedia re "central business district": A central business district (CBD) is the commercial and business centre of a city. In larger cities, it is often synonymous with the city's "financial district".
