You are asked to write an essay for a city you have visited as part of your course, or, by agreement with your module tutor, another city of your choice (which must, by definition, be post-industrial).

Your 3,000 word essay must explore the importance of culture, investment and regeneration within the city you have chosen, and should also discuss the issues which arise as a result of culture and diversity within the city.

Key areas to consider include:

- The development of culture and identity

- Managing culture and diversity

- Presenting culture in different leisure contexts

- Equal opportunities

- Ethical considerations

- Regeneration and inward investment

- PESTLE factors
