It’s a well-known fact that Manchester is one of England’s largest cities and one of the fastest growing cities in Europe. Every single day, new plans are being drawn up to make the city more stylish.
Big things are planned for Manchester as there are plans to build over 11,000 flats in 41 different schemes. And this goes hand in hand with the plan to build offices with a combined floor space of around 1.5million square feet.
Currently, there are six towers that rise above 25 storeys which are currently under construction. This surge of skyscrapers has changed the way Manchester is perceived all over the world. With most of the skyscrapers being apartment buildings, some people have described their worries that it would damage the character of the city. Steven Whiston dismisses these claims as he says:
“With over 40 different schemes in Manchester, it is almost impossible for every part of Manchester to look the same. The skyline is vastly changing, and for the better!”
With the vast range of buildings throughout the city, it is no wonder that many people agree. Among recent years there have been many concerns about different part of Manchester such as Ancoats, The Civic Quarter and The Northern Quarter. But as this city is so vast it must constantly change and adapt to keep up with the rest of the city centre.
In 2017 alone, twenty new residential schemes were introduced which was only two below the record-breaking year in 2016. This highlights the third year of sustained growth despite the uncertainty due to Brexit and the rising construction costs.
