Wow, so two different panels are that stupid? Or is it just one of those things where it's everyone's turn to win once?
Maybe we should offer the Miss World award to Susan Boyle?

They are both awarded to the city/place which would benefit most from mass regeneration and influx of visitors.
Both cities are at opposite ends of the M62 and suffer the same problems; ex ports, lots of unemployment, poverty, social division and brownfield sites. As a planner it was great the live in Liverpool whilst it under went massive regeneration.
Unfortunately, regeneration in this country generally involves building shopping centres.... To be fair to these awards, they do try and encourage regeneration through different tools. Its generally referred to a cultural regeneration... You may have noticed the new fad of 'cultural quarters' in many cities.
As a result of the capital of culture status Liverpool is fairly well connected now to Europe through rail and air links.

I believe your right Eric, these type of awards have helped both Liverpool and Glasgow improve their international status and enhance the lifestyle of their population, I'm all for anything that tries to stop the wave of macaronic behaviour.
