The city has undergone modernisation, notably with the Queensgate shopping centre and business developments like the Peterborough Business Park. Its strategic location, with excellent transport links including regular trains in and out of the city as well as easy road links, contributes to its role as a regional economic hub. The River Nene, flowing through the heart of Peterborough, adds a scenic touch, as well as offering a range of water sport activities, including paddle boarding, kayaking and raft building.
