The Guardian newspaper has published an extensive consideration of the impact of Manchester’s growth on the character of the city and the threats to its cultural legacy.
The Guardian writes:
Manchester’s skyline is changing drastically as its economy booms. Something has to be done about the housing and office-space shortages, but critics say new developments are sacrificing historic buildings at the heart of the city’s identity…
However, Manchester is also about to contend with the capital in other ways. A major housing crisis lurks, and a growing deficit of office space needs to be dealt with. To make amends, Manchester’s skyline is heading for dramatic change.
