The centre will integrate residential, cultural, retail and commercial space at the riverside, and offer a central public space. It will comprise a super-tall 400m-high landmark office tower, a regional convention centre, department stores, a five-star hotel and serviced apartments.

Atkins senior design director Ian Milne said: "Our design ambition is to create a spectacular centrepiece to this important new urban quarter.

The latest development is said to be based on existing road planning and has been designed to be pedestrian-friendl and sustainable.

The tops of the towers are ‘stepped’ to add differentiation to the overall shape, ensuring they create a unified group on the city’s skyline, Atkins said.

The convention centre has a sophisticated roof design and is expected to set new standards in passive energy-efficiency, Atkins claims.
