All this week on Breakfast we're going to be looking at the issue of urban regeneration - you can see our reports at 0740 and 0840 from Monday to Friday We've visited cities all over the UK for our special films, and we'll also be live with our regional reporters at a different location each day Daily Schedule Here's an outline to our daily coverage for the week.

We'll also be concluding our series on Friday with a discussion in the studio, and we'll have more details about that later in the week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday 6 September - Hull BBC reporter Peter Levy was live in Hull, a city that's gone out of its way to re-brand itself and come up with a new image and a 'life after fish'. The Deep: a multi million pound lottery success story Peter spoke to Colin Brown, Chief Executive, The Deep and to Deb Tate of Cityimage Click here to watch this discussion and Shaun McRae's film. They talked about how Hull has benefited from lottery money, and how people from outside Hull are coming into the area. They also talked about why Hull needs to see it's regeneration as a long term programme. Peter also talked to Adam Pearson, chair of Hull City FC and to Roxanne Cooper, a "Pop Idol" contender.

We also heard from Shaun McRae of Hull FC. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday 7 September - Nottingham We will be in Nottingham in the Midlands and we'll be looking at issues surrounding inner city living. But if more people move to the cities then more properties are having to be built to house them, and is city living any different now to in the past? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday 8 September - Portsmouth Known for its close naval links, we're in Portsmouth on Wednesday where we consider what we have learnt from the past about how our cities should look. Our reporter Sally Taylor also looks at The Tricorn in Portsmouth, seen as the worst in 1960's architecture according to many - voted the worst eyesore in a nationwide poll. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday 9 September - Liverpool The city of Liverpool was given a massive boost when it was chosen to be the UK's city of culture in 2008, and its waterfront area has been designated a World Heritage Site. And the city is even trying to encourage Liverpudlians back to the city with a special website 'Liverpool Needs You.com', see the link above. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday 10 September - Birmingham Today's city is Birmingham, home of the new Mailbox centre, and for our last location we explore brownfield sites and ask whether they are the solution to regenerating our cities and providing new spaces to build on. Then there's the real concern that all our cities are just turning into huge soul-less shopping centres, and what about those who have to work in city centres, what kind of jobs are they doing?
