Until I started working in Newport I could never tell the difference. It's very subtle and I still get it wrong.
The city centre seems to be picking up a bit though, what with this new shopping centre, some new offices going up and various other developments.
There's certainly a fair few new homes going up as well.
One of my biggest issues with the city is the number of employers based on business parks compared to those in the city centre, the balance is all wrong and doesn't help the city centre out one bit. There's some significant employers in the city and it's a shame barely any of them are in the city centre.
