Cambridge Retail change

Last weekend was spent in Cambridge, and not having been there for a while, and at the weekend in particular, it was clear that there has been a dramatic change to some parts of the city.
One stretch of road that I noticed had changed a lot was the end of Regent Street nearest to the train station (and the SPRI)

This has changed significantly over the last five years or so, when there were internet cafes and other similar businesses in this part of the city.
The first sign of the change is Jim Wah Express at the junction here.
Follow the red bus here, and you will head down Regent Street.
Look to left and right as you go, and you will see a clustering of shops which are of a particular type, and with a particular 'demographic' in mind...
Could this be linked to some other population changes within the city?
