I wouldn't argue against that, but it's only really been a city for a relatively short period of time. The fact that it now competes with cities that have been established for hundreds of years shows that Cardiff is doing something right, and gives promising signs for the future. There are a few hurdles, such as the general Welsh attitude of anti-development and anti-progression, and the organisation of development could be a lot better (e.g., the interchange not allowing for the metro at all), but as a future core city of the UK, it's going in the right direction.
