This report from the Centre for Cities looks at the disparity in how different UK city centres are performing, how there is a difference between the high street and the wider city centre and shows that high streets and wider city centres are not struggling everywhere. It argues that the success of those city centres that are thriving has been driven by jobs growth, in particular amongst high-skill businesses.
