Brighton & Hove; still the potential to be a supercity

In 2009 HSBC sponsored a report into the future of business in the UK. It predicted the emergence of Brighton as one of five UK "Supercities" led by the alternative economy. A new update has been published continuing the same theme.

Despite the ravages of the recession, the report still identifies Brighton & Hove as having the potential to be an "alternative super-city", a dynamic centre for innovative companies forging novel ways of doing business.

It also suggests that Brighton & Hove is already the "capital of the UK's rebellious alternative economy".

Author Martin Raymond has coined some new vocabulary - "Tradicals" and "Exportential" - specifically to describe the way future companies will do business in future supercities.
