The galleria will improve the quality and quantity of shopping facilities within Edinburgh city centre. At present, Edinburgh’s position in the national retail hierarchy is out of step with its status as Scotland's capital and a city of international renown. The city now ranks far behind Glasgow and has been overtaken by cities such as Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester. A redeveloped St James Quarter will restore Edinburgh’s reputation as one of Europe’s leading shopping destinations.
