    Urban space and civic identity in Manchester 1780-1914: Piccadilly Square and the art gallery question James R. Moore The recent controversy over the construction of an office develop­ ment on part of Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens has highlighted the emotional value of open space in modern urban centres.1 Critics railed at the loss of open space and the replacement of gardens with concrete rafts ‘full of litter and unruly yobs’.2 Civic society members condemned the development as ‘banal, fourth-rate, uninspired crap’ and attacked Manchester corporation for ‘an ignorant and scanda­ lous use of local power’.3 Yet disputes about Piccadilly are not new and would have been familiar to Edwardian Mancunians. Squares and urban open spaces have long been recognised as important, emotive parts of the urban fabric and are probably as old as urban society itself.4 They have classical predecessors in the shape of the Greek agora and have long served as multi-functional spaces for meetings, markets, political demonstrations and civic ritual.5 In some respects one might expect disputes about urban open space to be more acute in Britain, given its relative scarcity in early industrial cities. Unlike America, few provincial British cities have green parks located close to their urban core, making public squares 1 The Manchester plan: The unitary development plan for the City of Manchester (Manchester 1995), pp. 105, 123; Newsletter Piccadilly Gateway (Manchester 2000). 2 Manchester Evening News, 4 Sept. 2003. 3 Manchester Forum, 18 (2000), p. 14; Manchester Forum, 20 (2001), p. 14. 4 P.
