		The centre houses an 1800 space multi-storey car park, shopping malls on two levels, office space in tower, residential flats, and the Arndale Centre Bus Station at Cannon Street, (closed by the IRA bombing of Manchester in 1996, and not yet reopened).

		This is the very last stage in the reconstruction of the city centre since the IRA bombing of 1996 effectively obliterated the heart of Manchester.

		In a further twist of fate, by examining such cities a Sao Paolo, Urbis shows how little has been learned since Manchester became the model for unregulated and uncontrolled urban and industrial expansion.
		Glass and sloping roofs seem to be becoming trade marks of Manchester's new buildings, the motif continuing in future developments such as The Edge and the Great Northern Tower.

	Restaurant Review of Le Mont, Urbis, Manchester
		Urbis, Manchester’s new landmark architectural icon, and a landmark in its own right, houses Le Mont, a restaurant of Modern French Cuisine on its 5th and 6th floors.
		After the Urbis museum has closed, Le Mont achieves the same sort of effect by filtering out those unable to solve the ‘find-the-entry’ conundrum.
		One imagines that on a warm Summer’s night the Millennium Quarter will resound to the tramp of hungry feet and the irate mutterings of would-be customers circling the building trying to find their way in.
