Elric Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The UK's next City of Culture will be named later, with Coventry, Paisley, Stoke-on-Trent, Sunderland and Swansea all in the running. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-42267503 at the video Christ, that reads like a list of places that deserve to bit hit with a tactical nuke, or 12.

What are these things actually for and in whose interest are these decisions made? I love Newcastle but it's obviously not the best city in the world, probably not even close. And as for city of culture, Sunderland or Coventry clearly aren't the most cultured, exciting places in the country, even after all of the dressing up they do when in the running for such awards. I'm just wondering who actually takes this stuff seriously and what the benefit is? 'Cause when I read these sorts of things I can't help but seeing the elephant in the room that nobody ever seems to address. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the visit guides is purely just to show people alternative places than the usual tourist destinations. The capital of culture is aimed at bringing investment to areas that need developments and refurbishment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I see, that makes a lot more sense. Obvious really, I should have just looked it up. I thought it was in reflection of the current circumstances in a city and not the potential it has should it win the award. As for the Newcastle thing, it makes sense for it to be centred around and concerned with tourism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBingo Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Coventry Couldn’t have went any better. Sweet. I was kind of hoping they'd win, as it would have be good for Newcastle.....but then I remembered the utter jubilation on RTG when we lost the City of Culture bid to Liverpool. More karma.
