Description

In this episode, we consider how the city that is on the map for experiences, festivals, culture and tourism - is also the city that for years was overlooked for investment, long-term funding and capital infrastructure projects
 
And we try to answer the following questions:
 
  • Why did an HSBC report consider Brighton & Hove to be one of the UK's five 'supercities'?
  • What has put Brighton on the map since 2000?
  • What is the impact of the city's biggest business conferences?
  • How does the Children's Parade happen?
  • What is notable about some of Brighton's buildings?
