    Beautifully presented. As a Londoner of many decades, I've been waiting for a northern city to take its rightful place, centre stage, in the 21st century. It's fantastic to see Manchester taking such strides. Long may it continue.

      @@paulusthewoodgnome Manchester needs to lose it’s ridiculous artificial boundaries, which keep the actual city too small. It needs to be a city of boroughs like London. The conurbation is the same size as Rome,yet Manchester itself has a population of about 600.000. This keeps the council tax base small for its needs.

    Another awesome video. As an expat I no longer recognize the Manchester sky line. I recently viewed a 70's photo of Manchester taken from winter hill. Midway between there were the 5 cooling towers of Kearsley power station. I was shocked flying into Manchester in 2018 to have no sense of direction as the familiar cooling towers were no longer on the landscape and familiar approach landmarks were no more. I recall there were some 45+ tower cranes aside rising towers in Manchester at that time. These video's are an interesting visual of how progress constantly changes the views since my 2018 visit.

    Fabulous video, totally adore Manchester and the blending of stunning traditional with high rise modern buildings, with the glistening glass and reflective panelling is just gorgeous. The Radisson Hotel view from the 14th floor is a site to behold at sunrise and sunset, just spectacular. Would love to own a flat there. This video is very intelligent the filmed love it🖤

    Im sorry but its 2025 and our city still looks old, it should be futuristic with hyperloops and flying cars and huge digital displays etc, yet most of these new buildings are all of similar design and size so they all blend in, sky line what skyline, the very few tall skyscrapers that we got also look like boring rectangle boxes, seriously at least london has some imagination, like the walkie talkie building, can of ham building etc, seriously go to specsavers if you seriously think these are inspiring, most people wont even see them unless they work in them.

    The problem with Manchester is its boring and rather limited city center. And that doesn’t change with the number of skyscrapers, just makes it more American. Of course it’s almost impossible to develop and expand an old city center, but it isn’t especially attractive in my view. Been there a few times but apart from football or work I don’t long to go back.
