Think of some of the city centres from around the world. What draws people to them? What defines them? Do their names tell us something about them?

Here are some distinctive examples:

• Times Square (New York)
• The Square Mile (London)
• Canary Wharf (London)
• The Golden Mile (Singapore)
• Central (Hong Kong)
• Central Business District (Sydney, Australia)
• Merrion Square (Dublin)
• New Town (Edinburgh)
• The White City (Tel Aviv)
• The Crossroads of America (Indianapolis)
• City of Villages (San Diego)

Now think of the key words in Vaughan's city centre vision and its history, do a little brainstorming with friends, family, colleagues. Word combinations take shape. Now you can form some great names.
