    This is kind of interesting:

    "the future high street will look very different and it cannot be all about retail space"

    A similar message to Iain Docherty's comment at that Spokes meeting that there is too much retail space in the UK.

    I'm kind of hoping this is the direction that CEC is trying to take Princes St - mixed use instead of just retail. More like a thriving town centre, with activity throughout the day, rather than a post-5pm sterile desert (apart from when it's kicking out time at the pubs/clubs).
