On 30 January 2007, the Independent Casino Advisory Panel announced that the city of Manchester would host the UK’s first supercasino. The city came from behind to beat the frontrunners, Blackpool and Greenwich.
This Centre for Cities briefing note deconstructs the decision, before critically assessing the relationship between casinos and regeneration more generally. It focuses on the regeneration issues around supercasino development. It concludes with some lessons for Manchester.
Centre for Cities has re-launched as an independent think tank. You can visit them online at http://www.centreforcities.org.
