Is this true? Any fool could see there is no space for a convention centre on that plot while still retaining some green space, let alone adding the other functions.

And besides, why would there need to be another performance space here when the (admittedly preliminary) plan is to integrate a performing arts space into the redevelopment adjacent to the bus loop?
