Has Manchester changed more than any other UK city? What's next?

I'm biased because I live here, but I think Newcastle's doing pretty well. City centre is fairly economically healthy (not a dead high street), the nightlife is maybe not at its absolute peak but where is these days. The Quayside is nice, Ouseburn is a really good area for people who want a nice evening out without going full-send in the city centre. Plenty of good restaurants and bars scattered around the city. Bigg Market is still chaos over the weekend, matchdays still bring in major traffic. Good railway connections on ECML, the A1 is still shite but that's never changing. Tyne Bridge repairs and general traffic aren't great at the minute with the flyover demo. Airport is handy even if its direct flights aren't always the best. The new trains on the Metro have brought the service reliability back up to the point where it's not ruining people's trips multiple times a week. Easy access to the coast, the countryside, Scottish borders etc House prices are rising which isn't great for cost of living (but common nationwide), particularly in some of the more desirable neighborhoods. Seem to be building a reasonable amount as well at least
