Norwich will be a fantastic UK City of Culture in 2013. It's a beautiful, compact city that really works for visitors. It's got great cultural energy and infrastructure. And in all walks of life it's a place that's not afraid to try new things. It's great to think ahead to the year itself and what it will mean for the people of Norwich and Norfolk, and what it will show is possible – culturally, socially, economically – for the 50 or so other UK cities of 100,000 to 200,000 people. I can't wait.
