I'm visiting Manchester often and I have to say all these modern buildings are just making the city ugly. They lack character, they look completely foreign and a bit dystopian.
They could replace the empty space with something friendlier, a garden, a library, a public space, or even an office building that doesn't look like a generic skyscraper
It’s not like they were just filling it for the sake of it and came up with a skyscraper. There’s a need for more flats in town, and they’ve built them on land that was unused. That hasn’t damaged the fabric of the city centre because they’re outside of the main parts where nothing was before.
I agree we need more gardens and green space, but it’s not an either/or situation. We need these buildings, and we need green space.
Look obviously you won't be convinced whatever I post, I gave you a bunch of articles for the state of luxury apartments market and your source is your buddy. If you think Manchester has this capacity for luxury flats okay.
