Charts how the shiny ‘creative city’ project slid into booze-led night-time economies and moral panics about town-centre “no-go areas.”
My take
If you’ve ever watched the Northern Quarter flip from quirky to stag‑do corridor, this is basically the script – it’s the bridge between arts-led regeneration talk and the reality of plastic pint pots on wet paving.
