Ethnic minority businesses in the district centre of inner Nottingham, UK

Abstract

In UK, centres have been sustained and promoted and large-scale retail stores have been restricted to open in out-of-centre locations. But small and medium scale centres continued to decline. Some centres in inner cities have been developed as tourism destinations by ethnic minority businesses. Such centres also supply ethnic minorities daily goods and services. The Hyson Green Town Centre, which is defined as district centre in the national planning policy framework, is becoming to be as famous multi ethnic centre in inner Nottingham. I would like to examine the multi ethnic character of Hyson Green Town Centre.
