Just needs one iconic tower now. Something with a shape or size or both that when anyone from anywhere in the world looks at a picture of it knows it’s Manchester.
At the moment it could be anywhere, it’s all just a bit box generic. All the boxes are great to add to the mass, and it only needs one iconic tower (no need having loads of unusual towers).
Just one that looks something like that one on Whitworth Street but on a much bigger scale and even more unusual
Something like this but in glass and just that bit bigger than all the nice boxes that build up to this one. Something that gets the world talking and knocks us off our feet.
The big thing for me that needs to change most though is the streetscape.
The pavements, roads, walls at footfall level, bollards, signs, bus stops, Met stops, squares etc. all around the city centre all need a gigantic overhaul, updating, evening up and a proper fucking good cleaning up n’all.
At eye level, I think far too much of Manchester City centre is a shithole.
