Talk:Core Cities Group

Disambiguation
There should be a "core city" disambiguation page. In the United States, a core city is an older one, typically arising before the development of modern transportation, which now forms the center of a greater metropolitan area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.71.66.105 (talk) 11:25, 23 February 2007‎

Deleted uncited and inconsistent statement
I've deleted the following statement because it is uncited, inconsistent with the list of cities in the article (which quotes two cities in both of two regions), and rather incomprehensible (especially the last sentence):


 * The cities in the group are the heads of urban areas that correspond to the largest urban areas in England outside London. However, Nottingham and Newcastle do not feature in the eight largest cities outside London by population, as their district boundaries are tightly drawn (cities including Coventry, Bradford and Leicester are all more populous, but have smaller urban areas).

I've tried to follow up the links, but the core cities own web site is totally vague about what constitutes the region each city is 'head of'. I suspect it is a different set of regions from the UK government regions that the article uses, but cannot really tell.

Bottom line. A group of big cities have got together in an association to push their case against other possible groupings of cities, and need some justification for doing so. Trying to put strict geographic and numeric justifications for who is in the group and who isn't is probably just playing past the post rationalisation, and WP should remain aloof. Report the fact there is a grouping, who is in it, and leave it at that. -- Chris j wood (talk) 14:33, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The regions are being used in regional planning. As far as I can tell, we only have an article on one - the Sheffield City Region. Warofdreams talk 18:07, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Coats of arms
Could someone upload the coats of arms of the eight Core Cities to Commons and place the images in the right categories? Thanks. Pabletex (talk) 18:35, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

10 years old?
The article says The Core Cities Group is more than 10 years old. 10 years old from what date? Date of writing the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.217.111.202 (talk) 13:33, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Lifted
This page's text is lifted word-for-word from the Core Cities Group website and reads like a propaganda leflet! 94.30.61.223 (talk) 18:01, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

440.000 population growth tipping point
The cities over 440.000 poulation in the metropolitan area have a bigger statistical growth, easy to check following th emiddle growth in Russia, Brazil or (those, equivalent, with core population over 150.000 in USA). Problably due to synergies, scale advantage, motivations,...

The Core cities plus Edimburg, Portsmouth and London (and then the University cities of Oxford and Cambridge) are the industrial and economic souls of UK.

The fast train link, normal high speed of hyperloop will be an economic growth factor at increasing the synergies between those main centers, working then as neighborhoods, one for each other.

For example the development of a high speed train (convectional /Hyperloop-Maglev) from London to Oxford then a Y to Bristol and Manchester, Y to Liverpool and Leeds-North.

And an UK Development and Industrialization Institute/Fund/Bank to finance 100% at 5 years at 0% interest the transport electrification, solar-thermal and heat pumps and window updates, and industry  (imports substitution, product launch/export, R+D, improvement/automation with repay under 5 year...).

 * Hi anonymous IP editor, welcome to Wikipedia. I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say with your commentary. If you are trying to say places like Edinburgh, Portsmouth and London should be included that is not up to us. The Core Cities Group is an exclusive organisation that has 11 of the largest cities in the UK out of London, this is not an article written to publicised what are considered "core cities of the UK" by the editors. We used reliable, third-party sources (sources not from the subject in question) to develop articles. Jonjonjohny (talk) 13:45, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
