Mmmm
To be honest I think a lot has been achieved in 20 years with some glaring exceptions
Looking at the mostly empty vaux site, sheepfolds and a lot of sunniside. A lot of places would have capitalised on these given their closeness to the city centre.
The focus of placing commerce outside the city centre has continued with rainton bridge, this followed on from the doxford park mistake earlier. Retail has dived nationally and its proved sunderland doesn't have the diversity in commerce to cope.
The port seems to be bringing in trade now but they need to encourage traffic via the south entrance as the junction on the wearmouth bridge isn't suited to HGVs
Train station is still the same with the line to Newcastle central clogged up with the metro. They need to resist allowing metros south of the city centre that inhibits the Durham coast line. This line needs to be developed for national rail services as the prominent link to the east coast main line.
