The Future Of Sheffield City Centre

[BJustice]

I am a MSc Urban Planning student at the University of Sheffield and I am currently working on a research project about the future of Sheffield City Centre post covid-19.

I would love to hear opinions from residents, about how the city centre makes them feel, what they would like to see change, but also what they already value about the city centre.

It should take about 10 minutes, and I would be so grateful if you could complete it!

Thanks so much!

I've seen the future; and it rather seems to be Meadowhall.

Yuppy flats, Student flats, kebab shops and charity shops. THAT is the future.

Yuppy flats? The Eighties is over.

 

Still, you must be right, you used a fully capitalised word to emphasise the point.

Meadowhall IS the new centre. It shows when all the city centre is becoming is a new future ghetto of over priced box studio rooms, sorry "City living apartments" that most people can't afford, or are deserted through the summer when students return home...

It wil evolve into whatever it’s residents/workers desire it to evolve into. I don’t need it or Meadowhall, there are enough retail outlets in South West Sheffield to satisfy my requirements. It could have already been theatre/entertainment land, sadly Sheffield CC were having none of it and the likes of Manchester and Leeds stepped in, we shall just have to wait and see.

You’ve got more faith in Sheffield CC than I have. ☹️

Here we go again. Any tiny mention of the word development in the city and we have the same tired old comments from the same dinosaurs stuck with their rose tinted glasses harping on about life in the past being all sooooo  much better.

 

Waaa waaa don't like change.  Bring back Redgates and Hole in't Road.  

 

The city, its purpose and it's entire features are evolving. The world has moved on beyond just bloody shops.  Bring on the next generation of yuppies in their poncey flats I say.  They are the ones investing and bringing money into this place to drag it kicking and screaming into the modern world.
