I‘m a student in Leeds and I'm very interested in the urban development of the city and I really enjoy all of these videos, thank you!

Leeds got its name from an ancient forest called Leodis that once stood in its place I believe? I don't believe it existed in the Viking age anyway, places in Leeds like Morley did though. Wakefield was the seat of Viking power for the west riding. As the Vikings would have said "Jorvik vestr þriðjungur". The university of Leeds wanted to collaborate with the council to create the world's first self repairing city using robotics and drones. Apparently around 4 and a half thousand jobs in advanced manufacturing are soon coming to Leeds. It's a great international city, and is a "Brain gain" city

Considering how often the Aire Floods, I see it as Madness to be building Homes along the Riverside.

Who will buy these apartments when you consider mortgage, maintenance, ground rent + council tax the costs become extreme plus take into account it is usually the younger generation who buy these properties who then find they are not suitable when starting a family. Then Leeds is promoting a car free city which is ok for people who wish to visit other cities but if they want to visit outside a city centre then the journey becomes longer more expensive and forces them to adhere to a transport timetable.

Perhaps the most important of Leeds Innovators has to be Aspdin Family, Inventors of Portland Cement.
