The year 1987 saw the commencement the biggest regeneration in Welsh history. The Cardiff Bay Development Corporation was set up by Margaret Thatcher's government to transform the capital's declining docklands.
The ambitious plans of the corporation, which dissolved in 2000, changed the once-derelict area of the city beyond recognition, turning it into an attractive destination for tourists and residents – the vibrant Cardiff Bay we know and love today.
But the development was not without its controversies and even its most ardent supporters would not claim that it has achieved everything it set out to. Despite promises that the regeneration would create job opportunities for local people the surrounding communities like Butetown seem to have derived little benefit from it.
