the developers came swooping to transform it
Does the highlighted sentence mean "at the same time the city developers were going to change this district of the city to a more appropriate district that fitted more appropriately what London was known those days as a vibrant and successful world class city, Wentworth constructed his project there"?
And does "as the corporate publicity put it" mean "as the media described London those days (i.e. a vibrant and successful world class city)?
Context:
Wentworth can be called a ‘cartographer’, given his installation-as-mapping of the Kings Cross district of the city, An Area of Outstanding Unnatural Beauty, back in 2002, just as the developers came swooping to transform it into a quarter befitting of ‘a vibrant and successful world class city’, as the corporate publicity put it.
