The modern and diverse city which is the capitol of Wales is both the UK's newest city in both its own age and that of its structural environment, offering modern living in a relaxed and educated, sporting seaside setting
Until the development of the docks by the Earl of Bute, from which to ship the South Wales Valleys coal to the rest of the world, Swansea was both Wales's capital city and its largest conorbation.
But the main docks development of the early 1800's brought develeopment, industrialisation, mass employment and from the influx of peoples, multiculturalism - Cardiff houses the UK's first mosque.
That diverse culture is still true today, one of the few things that the redevelopment of the former docks city has kept with it in throwing off its decrepit nature post the lows of the 1970's and 1980's. The docks declined from the 1920's, and by the mid-1980's Bute town was better known for its redlights and number of murders, than as the gateway to the Cardiff Bay development, home of the Welsh assembley
Only 2hrs from London by train and with a large, well educated work force which on average is 15% cheaper, modern Cardiff offers an attractive location for both employers and employees, with a diverse range of employment opportunities
