All agree - to disagree

Article Abstract:

The demand for retail property in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is strong. Observers suggest some 500,000 sq ft of new space is required. Three schemes have been put forward. Whichever is chosen will be permitted to obtain land under the compulsory purchase scheme and will have support from the Belfast Regeneration Office. Local agents point out the city centre needs a new shopping area, although there is concern there will be indecision over which scheme should be chosen. The three schemes under consideration are at Victoria Square, Castle Street and the Cathedral Quarter.

Historic transactions

Article Abstract:

Bury St Edmunds, England, has a thriving retail market but further expansion is hampered by local conservation regulations. Some office space is available at the Suffolk Business Park which is due to be completed by Jun 1997. The lack of construction of industrial buildings has meant that rents are likely to increase. A new multiplex cinema is planned for development at Parkway. Bury St Edmunds attracts many visitors to the town due to its historical links and it has been designated as a Historic Core Zone town.

Late-night prescription

Article Abstract:

UK cities are still a long way from offering 24-hour entertainment and services. One of the main problems is transport, while problems can also arise if entertainment facilities are located in residential areas. Developers are now building schemes around 24-hour living, and local councils are seeking to promote the '24-hour city.' However, the vast majority of Britons are not particularly interested in 24-hour entertainment and services.
