Newport city centre is traditionally regarded as the area bounded by the west bank of the River Usk, the George Street Bridge, the eastern flank of Stow Hill and the Great Western Main Line. Most of the city centre is contained within two conservation areas: the central area and the area around Lower Dock Street. The vast majority of the city centre is located in the Stow Hill district. The River Usk, Afon Wysg in Welsh, rises in the mountains of mid-Wales then flows south-east through Abergavenny and the eponymous town of Usk to the Roman legionary fortress of Caerleon and the Bristol Channel at Newport. ...

Stow Hill is a electoral district (ward) of the city of Newport. ...
The main shopping thoroughfare is Commercial Street, which forms part of the north-south axis of Commercial Street and Commercial Road, linking the heart of the city with the docks. The streets were laid-out in 1807 by Sir Charles Morgan's Tredegar Wharf Company to connect the expanding docks with the main roads in the centre.
The area between Commercial Street and the river used to contain a mixture of railway lines and river wharves so the street patten in this area was never fixed. On the removal of the railway lines and wharves in the 1960s the large John Frost Square and Kingsway Shopping Centre were built. This area is currently being redeveloped to provide the Friars Walk mall. John Frost was a prominent leader of the Chartist movement. ...

Towards the northern end of the city centre is Westgate Square, named after the Westgate Hotel. Here the five roads of Commercial Street, Stow Hill, Bridge Street, High Street and Skinner Street converge. This is generally regarded as the centre, although the actual centre as measured on road signs is further up Bridge Street outside the Queen's Hotel — adjacent to the central post office which is where most OS maps pin point the centre of a place to be. The Westgate Hotel is a historic building in the centre of Newport, and is famous as the scene of the 1839 Chartist riot. ...

The city centre is currently being expanded to take in areas of the east bank. The area of land between Newport Bridge and George Street Bridge is included in the Newport Unlimited master plan as a new high-density combined commercial and residential area, joined to the west bank by the new River Usk footbridge. The plan shows a strong urban form along the riverfront, emphasised with tall landmark buildings [1]. Newport Unlimited is an Urban Regeneration Company created in 2002 to regenerate Newport. ...
