Manchester’s Changing Skyline

[jrb]

We have launched a second community conversation on the £250 million plans for a mixed residential neighbourhood to the west of Stockport town centre known as Stockport 8.

New first look images and an updated masterplan for Stockport 8 have been revealed, following feedback from the first conversation earlier this year which saw more than 300 responses from local people and businesses.

Located on land either side of King Street West and next to the iconic railway viaduct, it will be one of the largest developments within the 130-acre Town Centre West masterplan, reconnecting the area to the town centre and creating a walkable, integrated community under the railway arches.

Fuck me, a lot of these buildings are hideous, identikit buildings for the modern age

Opinions of course, i had a good look round the City for the first time in years a few weeks ago, most of the tall and modern buildings look great, there is no way that buildings like the Town Hall, central library, Midland hotel etc could be built today due to the cost.

Well done jrb for keeping us up to date with developments in Manchester, i see you are back on the skyscraper city forum. Good luck with most of the regulars on there who could start an argument in an empty building.

No, no, no.... there is a 7.5 degree inflection on the top parapet on that previous one.
Genius architectural detail mere commoners just don't appreciate.
