Excerpt: Sheffield City Centre-often just referred to as town-is a district of the City of Sheffield, and part of the Sheffield Central ward. It includes the area that is within a radius of roughly 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) of Sheffield Cathedral, and is encircled by the Inner Ring Road-a circular route started in the late 1960s and completed in 2007. 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. 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, Velocity Living, and the under-construction Velocity Tower, the Sevenstone and Moor shopping areas, redevelopment of existing buildings such as the Crucible Theatre and better transport and shopping facilities and new cultural attractions such as museums and art galleries. In late 2006, the "Connect Sheffield" scheme came into being. As part of this scheme, vehicle signage was improved by dividing the centre into four main areas (separate from the quarters) using electronic messaging panels with information about congestion and available parking, information about transport and visitor attractions, tens of pillars were erected in key places, varying from narrower pillars for bus and tram stops and the station, to much broarder pillars outside key attractions, each showing information on the immediate surroundings, a map and (in some cases) a clock, all junctions on the Inner Ring Road have been numbered and marked with a strong landmark feature, a new map of the city centre will be produced in print and online, travel information panels in bus interchanges have been made clearer
