^^ cheers streetlegal - this kind of thing rocks my boat - looking forward to a good read later today! [emoji6][emoji106]
^^ indeed just read that & there’s definitely a noticeable difference.
It’s a tremendous article - I read it on me iPhone, but that doesn’t do it justice so will have a proper read on my iPad after work.

Superbly put together video.
Makes for a depressing picture though.
It would be interesting to see how Europe will fair post COVID.
From my experiences of travelling to a number of European cities over the years I do think theirs are more vibrant and diverse when it comes to usage.
I know there’s a big drive over the last 10 years in particular to encourage people to live in our city centres, however I don’t think it’s been as successful in attracting families for instance - which I think is the crucial difference between city living here and in Europe. I also think that in Europe is been a long standing tradition, whereas in the UK the flight to the suburbs intensified once we established the railways over 100 years ago.
We visit Las Palmas in Gran Canaria every February. It’s what I’d call a ‘working city’ - by that I mean it’s less reliant of tourism and is probably on a par with Bristol.
It’s population isn’t much smaller than Bristol, but it’s urban sprawl is far less. Resulting in a higher density towards the centre. Loads of mid rise buildings (no real significant 100m towers) - very little in the way of our traditional housing. Resulting in families living above shops etc.
Overall it has a real vibe, full of life but without any threat of violence as the mix of people is more family orientated.
What tourism they have is mainly locals and probably mainland Spain.
Another plus is the amount of pride that exists regards keeping the streets clean. They get swept every morning and it’s extremely rare to see any litter.
Just to add though that I genuinely believe Bristol is in a better position than many of our core cities as it does lend itself more to the European model.
The centre feels a lot less cut off than say Brum, Leeds or Manchester.
When I walk round the city and reach Clifton or Bedminster I don’t feel like I’ve stepped from one extreme to another. I think the centre sort of flows more naturally between the inner suburbs.
It’s other advantage is the sheer amount of green space in the centre compared to those cities I’ve highlighted above.
Where Bristol currently lags however is public transport. Most of the core cities excel in this in comparison - with Brum, Manchester, Sheffield and even Nottingham having established tram networks.
Liverpool, Newcastle and Leeds are have a much more intergrated railway network too.
If Bristol could nail that just imagine! [emoji6][emoji106]
