The Metro Centre experience: — and the prospects for Meadowhall

Abstract

In 1984 the building of Metro Centre in Gateshead got underway, and since it opened it has attracted a great deal of comment. Meadowhall in Sheffield is due to open in 1990; it will be the centre of attention for retailers, developers, local authority planners, and most of all, shoppers in the region around. This paper looks at how successful Metro has been, and the prospects for Meadowhall.
