City Sentral was a planned major new retail and leisure development in the heart of the Staffordshire city of Stoke-on-Trent. It was proposed by Realis Estates, and was a planned 650,000 sq ft regional shopping centre which was due to open in 2016. The centre will include a Marks & Spencer department store, a wide range of new stores and shops, cafés and restaurants, vibrant public spaces, a Cineworld cinema complex, an 80 room hotel, parking for 1,000 cars and a new bus station. City Sentral's proposed catchment comprises 870,000 people with more than 360,000 people living within 20 minutes drive of the city centre. The architects for the bus station were Grimshaw Architects and Benoy was working on City Sentral. The branding of the proposed shopping centre divided residents in the city with many suggesting the deliberate misspelling of the word 'central' was unnecessary and open to ridicule. City councillors were asked to support a motion demanding Realis changed the name but it was rejected on the grounds that it may deter inward investment. == History == The £350 million regeneration project is transforming a prominent but run-down site comprising the existing East West Precinct and bus station. An outline planning application was submitted in October 2008 and consent was granted in February 2009. The Development Agreement was signed in December 2009. Work on phase 1 - the new bus station commenced on January 30, 2012 and was completed on March 26, 2013. In August 2013, the City Council asked Realis to present finalised plans or lose the contract. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「City Sentral」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
