As well as the cathedral, notable buildings in the city centre include the Grade I listed Town Hall, the City Hall, and the Winter Gardens. Several areas of the city centre have been designated as quarters. Of these, the Devonshire Quarter and Cultural Industries Quarter are the best known. It is home to the city's major business, transport, leisure and cultural attractions. The City centre is currently under going massive re-generation with every section of the City centre set to be re-developed. Plans and projects include the development of new squares and public spaces, new residential and office buildings including St. Pauls Tower and Velocity (Sheffield), better transport and shopping facilities and new cultural attractions such as museums and art galleries.
