Yep, it may sound overly simplistic but if you can make the city centre somewhere people want to spend time then businesses to serve those people will naturally start to spring up.
Bradford will never have a big thriving commercial centre because there is one of them 9 miles away, it has to offer something different rather than simply try schemes to mimic which invariably fail.

you go to the best European cities, and the biggest draw isn't shops. Now BFD is never going to be a European city of choice, but its not too much to ask to make it a place where local people like to spend time. Come on councillers, put a bit of gray matter behind it, do some research (not the type where you ask representative sample - they'll just ask for a faster horse).
