Sheffield is changing and improving rapidly thanks, in part, to the ambitious Heart of the City II project.
The regeneration project has seen new shops like Fjallraven and Yards, mixed-use spaces, and even a much-loved park arrive in the city centre.
But, due to a combination of nostalgia and ambition, there are still many things Sheffielders want to see in the city which have not appeared just yet
Some of the ideas below from The Star’s readers are based on the city’s history, including John Lewis and the hole in the road.
Others are looking to new ideas for the future, hoping for new independent shops, more designer clothing stores, and more clubs and bars.
Let us know if there are any ideas missing which you would like to see in the centre’s future.
