Dubbed as one of the city’s most exciting regeneration opportunities, Holt Town is located between Eastlands and the city centre.

The vision is to transform the area into a sustainable, digitally-driven new town within the city, with capacity for around 4,500 new homes.

The NDF will propose “generous” green public space that will include designs for future living, underpinned by good health and well-being principles, including new active travel routes, according to the city council.

Glad to hear about green spaces, I have watched a few youtube videos of foreigners thoughts on living in Manchester Central just out of curiosity since it's becoming more common. The lack of green spaces compared to other major cities always seems to be a major gripe for them. I suppose that shows you the working class roots of the city, none of this used to be much of a concern(health and well-being... luxury!).

Wasn't referring to a 24 hr sphere in Bradford, more an upgrade on what we see at Munich's ground.

LED has come a long way since it opened 20 years ago. We have the chance to make the approach something special

In 2018, it was estimated that the project would cost $1.2 billion. After accounting for design changes, supply chain crisis and inflation, it is understood that The Sphere ultimately cost [$2.3 billion

If you divide 2.3 billion by 20,000,000 you get 115

More likely to see a shopping trolley walking up the canal

That's a great progress the ones in the supermarkets where I live you have to push them

That's exactly what I was thinking. Also shows what could be done with a stadium wrap... Like the Sphere in Vegas

Imagine this appearing as you walk up the canal



366 feet tall and 516 feet, easy do it on a football ground

I was talking about the roof above City Square doing this

It is called the CUBE Entrance at the New York City stadium, it's looks like it built on the same type of technology as Sphere I left a link below.

How good would this look on the roof of City Square?

A first for an EPL team

Please watch the video below, it is amazing @jrb & @gouldybob

I agreed about the roof of the new City Square. I was just saying why stop at the top of Joe Mercer Way.

As you walk under the roof it opens up to an LED wrap of the rest of the stadium. This would give the "WOW" from every path to the stadium.

The roof of City Square can just be the start

This is a game-changer, for football clubs and live events

You know, I think you’re going overboard with this and dramatically so. It’s just a video wall at the entrance to the stadium.

Our plans are also already in place, we’re not going to suddenly cancel them and put this in just because NYC have it.

We’ll have to best fan zone in Europe whether you like it or not.
