Many of the builings in our city centres are now being converted to flats and towns houses. Offices are disappearing and larges stores appear doomed. Perhaps we will see the resurgence of smaller retail business to serve the increasing numbers who livd in the cities. I was speaking to someone a while back who has a very nice flat by the river in the centre of Norwich. His complaint was that he had to get in his car to drive out to the supermarket in the suburbs to get his groceries.
