Cardiff Bay
For more details on this topic, see Cardiff Bay.In 1999, new life was injected into the area by the Cardiff Bay Development Corporation, which bulldozed many of the now derelict and decrepit buildings and streets to create new living spaces.

This resulted in the equally controversial renaming area to Cardiff Bay.
