LEEDS
Launched 4th January 2010
Leeds has had an amazing 10 years; unprecedented growth, exciting urban regeneration projects and a city centre full of superb new apartment blocks. Much of the redevelopment has happened around the riverside, with streets such as The Calls becoming stalwarts of city centre living. But as these areas mature, new ones emerge, from the exciting streets to the north of the city centre to the imposing redevelopment of Clarence Dock

LONDON DOCKLANDS
Launch Date: April 2010
Over the past 20 years, Britain’s largest city has seen significant amounts of urban regeneration around Docklands and the South Bank. These huge swathes of land to the east and south of Tower Bridge have been transformed into some of the city's most glamourous and exciting residential areas. From the shiny glass towers of Canary Wharf to the old warehouses of Rotherhithe and Southwark, this rapidly regenerating part of London is a vibrant place to live
BIRMINGHAM
Launch Date: Summer 2010
Only a decade ago, Britain’s second-largest city seemed a little grim - but how things have changed! The canals have been upgraded, the Bullring refurbished and large numbers of apartment blocks have sprung up across the city. There are impressive waterside blocks, imposing glass towers and the occasional high-quality warehouse conversion. As the city centre comes into its own, the surrounding areas begin their regeneration, from the historic Jewellery Quarter to up-and-coming Digbeth
NEWCASTLE
Launch Date: Spring 2010
Newcastle's rapid regeneration has been spearheaded by a massive investment in public buildings - only then did the people follow. But follow they did, and into some of Britain's most cutting-edge apartment blocks. With award-winning architecture and an imposing sense of scale, the riverside is a vibrant place to live, work and socialise - and most of the residential developments are within 10 minutes of the city centre
CARDIFF
Launch Date: Summer 2010
The majority of Cardiff's regeneration has been centred around the Docks – and it’s easy to see why. With acres of open space, miles of waterfront walks and panoramic views, the redevelopment of Cardiff Docks has been a real success. Most of the developments are new-build blocks, so the emphasis is on contemporary design, panoramic views and large terraces. But if you look hard enough there are some hidden Victorian gems in the city centre
SHEFFIELD
Launch Date: Summer 2010
Sheffield was the first city to re-introduce trams - so it's surprising that regeneration took so long. For a while it looked like Sheffield would never shrug off its heavy industrial past, but over the last few years it's begun a move towards city centre living. The once derelict area around West Street has been transformed into a vibrant and exciting location, and the city has some of the most exciting new apartment blocks in Britain
PLYMOUTH
Launch Date: Summer 2010
This beautiful waterside city has had more than its fair share of urban regeneration, from the post-war shopping centre to the redevelopment of Devonport docks. In the 1980s it was the Hoe, in the 1990s The Barbican, and now finally Millbay has completed the city’s makeover. It’s an exciting place to live too, with beaches and moors only 30 minutes away and some of the best-value apartments in the country
BRISTOL
Launch Date: Autumn 2010
The high number of small apartment blocks in the city centre makes Bristol feel a lot bigger than it really is. Residential developments are scattered right across the city, from the historic streets of Cliftonville to the vibrant new waterfront. But it’s the careful refurbishment of Bristol's historic buildings that really impresses – a wide variety of warehouses have been converted into some of Britain's most superb living spaces
BRADFORD
Launch Date: Autumn 2010
Bradford has the highest percentage of warehouse apartments in Britain – it’s packed full of them! Whilst other cities embrace contemporary architecture, Bradford looks back at its historical past with some of the finest conversions we've seen. Centred around the narrow streets of little Germany, it’s one of the most compact city centres too, with some of the country's best-value blocks. It may not have the glamour of nearby Leeds, but Bradford has tons of potential - and it's growing fast
