The Welsh capital has seen massive investment in recent years, partly to transform the run-down former docks area, and also due to the formation of the new Welsh Assembly. The arrival of the new Welsh government heralded the arrival of a new wave of investment in the city, as a new building was constructed to house the Assembly, its members, and thousands of support staff.
Recent developments have also included the Wales Millennium Centre. This new arts complex opened in two phases, the first in 2004 and the second five years later. It comprises a theatre and two smaller halls, along with a range of shops, bars and restaurants. Cardiff Bay has also been a centre of much of the city's regeneration, built around a 500-acre lake. It was once tidal, but new barrages have been built to allow access to the bay and the Atlantic Ocean beyond at all times.
This area was once one of the main gateways to the South Wales area for both imports, and exports of large quantities of the coal and steel which used to be produced nearby. The revitalisation which the city has undergone is demonstrated by the growth in its population. Having declined during the 1970s and 1980s as the industries which once ruled the local economy waned, it has grown by nearly 20 per cent since 1991.
Cardiff is the heart of a large metropolitan area, and the main city serving a large number of communities strung along the South Wales valleys. Many of these communities were built around coal mines, and although the industry is a shadow of what it used to be, large amounts of money have been spent regenerating communities which lost their main source of employment when the mines closed. Cardiff now has a large finance and business sector, and is one of the most popular cities in the United Kingdom for visitors, which has also prompted a large growth in the number of service sector jobs.
The city lies alongside the M4 motorway which offers a fast road link to London and Heathrow Airport, while Cardiff's own international airport, 10 miles west of the city centre, has fast and direct road and rail links to the heart of the city. Cardiff's new government structure, and the large-scale development which has followed it, have attracted many new residents and businesses to the region.
