Bradford City Centre Regeneration

Agree with the comments Di Livio. If Bradford is ever to be regenerated it really does need a more high earning population for potential spending power. However how long has Bradford being in such a state as reading the section on Bradford in Bill Bryson's Notes From A Small Island from 1994 it appears that Bradford back then is just the same as it is now and little significant regeneration has occured. Also I once went to Bradford City Centre on a Sunday sometime last year and could not believe how quiet it was with most major shops such as Marks & Spencer being closed, which was ironic considering the nearby Forster Square Retail Park was full of shoppers.

On a related note how come is there no pictures of the Urban Splash redevelopment of Lister's Mill on this thread. Is this nearly finished yet?
