Diary: Egan talks the talk, Cooper calls in, and hardline cop collars the kids

30 April 2004

Whatever else you may think of Sir John Egan and his recent review of regeneration skills, you've got to hand it to him: he's a master of management-speak. In a sector riddled with the stuff, his report takes things to a new level.

Opinion: UK's sunbelt city offers remedies for resurgence

30 April 2004

A horde of the world's top urban experts descended on the London School of Economics last week. Generously funded by the Leverhulme Foundation - whose founding father William Hesketh Lever built the model village of Port Sunlight and paid for the first university town planning department, at Liverpool, in 1910 - they'd come for two and a half days of debate about the Resurgent City.

The residual nagging question was what was happening elsewhere. Most British cities, they were reminded, are still losing people, even though they're seeing central renaissance.
