DIARY: Brum loses the plot, Prescott the jester, and Hill crushes our man
28 November 2003
Conspiracy theories abound in Birmingham as the city struggles to accept losing the capital of culture 2008 bid. While fellow losers, Newcastle-Gateshead, Bristol and Oxford have been cheerfully getting on with their own cultural campaigns, Birmingham is convinced it is the victim of a foul plot. A scrutiny committee has been sitting for weeks with cries of "it's not sour grapes but..." emitting from all and sundry. Aston Villa FC chairman 'Deadly' Doug Ellis is the latest to advance his theory. "We were up against the London mafia and there is no doubt that things were going on behind the scenes," he told the committee, adding that Liverpool's win was politically influenced. The surprise of the loss to Birmingham is confusing Diary. With six cities competing and only one prize? You do the maths.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGENERATION: Making urban life less ordinary
28 November 2003
A wetland centre carved from an old reservoir in west London is proving to be as much about generating a feeling of well-being for those tied to city living, as it is about wildlife conservation.
TURNING POINT: An Olympic inspiration for change
28 November 2003
One of the things that most attracted me to regeneration through landscape architecture was the diversity of backgrounds and interests that led people to the sector. I only half believed that such a metamorphosis could happen when I left Catalunya in 1994 as a teacher to come to Manchester to retrain as a landscape architect.
OPINION: Decentralisation won't happen
28 November 2003
I've just come across a Local Government Information Unit (LGIU) briefing on "relocation and central government". It's about the Lyons review. It's very sensible - the document, not the Lyons review. The document says many intelligent things about why it would be in the national interest to transfer public sector activities from London and the South-East to other parts of the UK. It's when I read that "it has been suggested that the result of the review could be relocation of 20,000 posts (there are currently 230,000 civil servants and other central government staff in London and the SouthEast)" that I realised we'd all left planet earth on this subject.
OPINION: Hi-tech industry needs an even national spread
28 November 2003
Four recent items in the newspapers add up to a pattern - and overall, it doesn't spell good news for regeneration across the land. They're about technology and how it underpins the service industries that are the only kind of industries we've got, now that the world's manufacturing has all decamped to China. But they're also about the big, increasingly globalised, corporations that control that technology and the way that we use it.
INTERVIEW: On the crest of the cultural wave
28 November 2003

Since then he has overseen the creation of the Cedos website, a national survey of sub-regional partnerships and the publication of a toolkit for evaluating economic development and regeneration partnerships.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEWS: Data Check - Leeds the most popular big city with residents
28 November 2003
Leeds has been rated as the best UK city to live in, according to research carried out among 1,000 dwellers in Britain's eight largest cities. The Henley Management College research took the averages of 'excellent' ratings by residents on areas such as public transport amenities, cleanliness and entertainment. It concluded that 65 per cent of 15-35 year olds living in Leeds rated their city as excellent overall, with Birmingham and Liverpool close behind. London scored high marks for entertainment but scored poorly on other public issues.
