The Eagle Centre is the city’s main indoor shopping centre and is currently being extended.

Much of the skyline of the inner city changed radically when the inner ring road with its two new crossings of the River Derwent was built. Thus the editor (Elizabeth Williamson) of the 2nd edition of Pevsner for Derbyshire wrote:- ‘…the character and cohesion of the centre has been completely altered by the replacement of a large number of C18 houses in the centre by a multi-lane road. As a traffic scheme this road is said to be a triumph; as townscape it is a disaster.’
