The ongoing success of Newport’s regeneration has seen it rise to the rank of seventh in the UK in a table showing the predicted economic strength of cities in the UK.

The latest Regional Planning report by Experian Business Strategies, the global economic forecasting group, puts Newport among the likes of Inner London, Reading and

Edinburgh, at the very top of the list of towns and cities set to show robust economic growth between now and 2020.Also in the top ten are Cardiff and Bristol, which makes Newport an even more significant location for investment as it sits midway between the two – within 10 miles of the fifth highest (Cardiff) and 20 miles of the tenth highest (

Bristol).In ranking Newport in seventh place, the city is placed above Outer London, Birmingham, Nottingham and Leeds.
