The 21st century is where everything changes for Dundee. The city is going through quite an extraordinary regeneration and a city adapting to the future but keeping it's past alive. Once a city which gained it's wealth from industrial is now heading towards a more greener future. Dundee will soon be home to Eden Project Scotland which is due to open by 2025 at the latest.
Dundee was named as one of the cities of the future by Cognizant and there is no surprise why, the past ten years have been some of the most dramatic and exciting times in Dundee. The waterfront has been completely renovated with the addition of the £80m V&A Dundee, Scotland's first design museum.
This is the most exciting time in Dundee's history. The eyes of the world are starting to see that Dundee means business. The city has been overlooked time and time again, and now is the time that we show others what a small city like ours can achieve!

BATCHELOR
"Hello, I'm Andrew - and I run Dundee Culture! Showcasing Dundee to the world is something which I have been doing since the age of 12 through Dundee Culture and it has been a fantastic journey to see this city and this platform grow!"
Why do you love Dundee?
Because it is a city with an amazing culture and heritage. We are a city of pioneers and inventors and our people are full of talent! Dundee is also cool and has things that others don't which makes it such a unique place that I am so proud to be from.
Why did you start Dundee Culture?
Because Dundee needed a positive voice that wasn't there at the time - and someone had to do it. Dundee Culture has helped turn up the volume for the city through social media and now it is one of the largest brands in the city.
What is your favourite part of Dundee?
I love all of Dundee - but if I had to choose one specific part, it has to be the Dundee Law - you get a 360 degree view of our wonderful city and you're literally standing on a volcanic sill which is awesome.
