Capital Cardiff 1975-2020

"Capital Cardiff" examines the changing character of the city of Cardiff, as it continues its transformation from new provincial capital (1955) to a superlative maritime city and European capital by 2020. This volume focuses on the role of local government and its economic, social, and cultural agendas in light of policy initiatives and partnerships--as well as its underlying attempt to shape a medium-sized European capital into a power capable of competing on a world stage.
