Original Document
The economic trends within certain city centre quarters also have a negative effect on the appearance of the city centre and its potential to attract inward investment: parts of the city centre outside the core have a depressed character in which the low level of economic activity fails to support the maintenance of the building stock. There may also be issues of poor street level security through the lack of activity and surveillance. The Big City Plan must anticipate a new role for the city centre’s manufacturing quarters and adopt the right policies to help improve their prospects.
Plain English Translation
Because some of the parts of the city centre look bad, which affects people’s desire to base firms there. In some areas there isn’t enough spending to keep the buildings looking good. Also if the areas aren’t used they may not feel or be safe.
The Big City Plan must think a new way these areas can be used and make plans to help make them better.
