MANCHESTER – A DISCONTINUED CITY?
Posted by Mike Rigby
Andy Bainbridge has asked me to post this paper by Eamonn Canniffe of the Manchester School of Architecture. It’s a critique of the urban regeneration program undertaken by Manchester City Council over the last 15 years.
“Manchester’s regeneration has accelerated to place it as a frequently cited exemplar of British urban policy. Questions remain, however, as to whether the trickledown urbanism to which it is host represents a sustainable urban future, most especially in social terms.
To base an urban strategy, as Manchester has done, on the needs of the independently mobile is to abandon the young, the elderly and the poor to and impoverished existence.“
The two sides of modern day Manchester?
