Inner Manchester; specifically Manchester city centre, Central Salford, Salford Quays and North Trafford. Why?

For the purposes of this study, a tall building is classed as a building which is 80m or taller from the ground to the roof, or is upwards of 20 storeys. Why do we need a tall buildings study in Manchester? There are now more tall buildings proposed for Manchester than for any other European city outside London. They will permanently alter our skyline in many exciting ways, and so it’s more important than ever that we survey and catalogue the impact they will have on our city. What is the aim of this report? To inform and advise those interested about the changes taking place on Manchester’s skyline in the next few years, what the city’s tall buildings are being used for, and what stage of the planning process they are at. 1. Introduction Manchester Tall Buildings Study November 2017 2 2. THE STUDY AREA This report focuses on inner Manchester, which is where the majority of Manchester’s tall buildings are located.

  • From Manufacturing Industries to a Services Economy: the Emergence of a 'New Manchester' in the Nineteen Sixties
    Introductory essay, Making Post-war Manchester: Visions of an Unmade City, May 2016 From Manufacturing Industries to a Services Economy: The Emergence of a ‘New Manchester’ in the Nineteen Sixties Martin Dodge, Department of Geography, University of Manchester Richard Brook, Manchester School of Architecture ‘Manchester is primarily an industrial city; it relies for its prosperity - more perhaps than any other town in the country - on full employment in local industries manufacturing for national and international markets.’ (Rowland Nicholas, 1945, City of Manchester Plan, p.97) ‘Between 1966 and 1972, one in three manual jobs in manufacturing were lost and one quarter of all factories and workshops closed. … Losses in manufacturing employment, however, were accompanied (although not replaced in the same numbers) by a growth in service occupations.’ (Alan Kidd, 2006, Manchester: A History, p.192) Economic Decline, Social Change, Demographic Shifts During the post-war decades Manchester went through the socially painful process of economic restructuring, switching from a labour market based primarily on manufacturing and engineering to one in which services sector employment dominated. While parts of Manchester’s economy were thriving from the late 1950s, having recovered from the deep austerity period after the War, with shipping trade into the docks at Salford buoyant and Trafford Park still a hive of activity, the ineluctable contraction of the cotton industry was a serious threat to the Manchester and regional textile economy. Despite efforts to stem the tide, the textile mills in 1 Manchester and especially in the surrounding satellite towns were closing with knock on effects on associated warehousing and distribution functions.

  • Telcom Case Study
    case study 2018 Telcom Networks powers Manchester connectivity vision About Telcom Networks Manchester company Telcom Networks is a company on a mission. Simply put, it wants to build a nation where everyone has access to affordable, ultrafast internet. It’s an ambitious goal, certainly. But from the drive, passion and enthusiasm of its founders you get the feeling that given time they might just pull it off. It all started when two virtually penniless young entrepreneurs looked for the best place in the UK to start a tech business. Information outside London was scant, so they embarked on a bus tour to find out for themselves. Inspired by the Gates Foundation principle of giving back, they shared the data from the journey - by now called Tech Britain - with the rest of the tech community. Stopping off in London just long enough to attend Cabinet Office and Buckingham Palace summits, they The Loop has a terrific platform for helping returned to Manchester and then created the SpacePortX shared workspace for startups. us deploy the first Gigabit HyperCity right The key finding from their tour was just how woeful Britain’s internet connectivity was (as recently as 2016 “ here in Manchester. Being a regional player, it was the third worst in Europe according to the European Commission) and Telcom Networks was born The Loop is easier to access and a lot easier to turn the country into Europe’s best connected.
