Blog Information

As the name suggests, this blog takes a look at the administration of, and goings on in, cities throughout the country.


The posts focus on any number of things, from development and regeneration funding in general to individual events and notable achievements by individual cities.


We're not sure why, but there was something about this blog that just didn't get us very excited.


It looks good, with a nice clear layout, and the well-written posts are updated regularly enough to keep followers interested but there is something rather technical and arbitrary about a blog addressing issues concerning cities.


It's neither local nor national but somewhere in between while actually being neither.


That said, it's probably just us so we heartily recommend this blog to anyone with an interest in regeneration and development.
