The pressing need for planning a new city centre was at that time already evident: Coventry was booming on the back of the motor industry, and the suburban built-up area of the city had expanded dramatically during the 1930s, leading to growing problems of traffic congestion and urban blight in the commercial core.
The provision of the City Arcade in the 1960s was one response to this, an attempt to provide space for smaller and specialist retailers displaced by the redevelopment of the Precincts (and official recognition that retail provision in the city did not match demands).
