the general idea of city of culture is to direct funding for arts at shitholes
it's why London, Paris etc are never in the running

I would have thought on that basis London and Paris were over qualified.

Indeed, lived there for over 20 years.
Great for a short time if you've got cash to burn and no kids.

Looks like they get a million or so in funding from the eu.
After spending millions to get there...

It’s almost as though it was designed as a meaningless accolade to encourage public spending in depressed areas.

Indeed, but it makes a fuck of a difference
