Industrial Regeneration

Manchester - the world’s first industrial city – dominated by the textile industry, and was famed as Cottonopolis. But, just as its rise was spectacular, so was its decline. Hear the story of the last 200 years in this great city’s history, and marvel at the way it has risen, like a phoenix, from the ashes.

The fantastic transformation of the city in the past 25 years has had Town Planners from around the world visiting to discover its secrets. See for yourself this how this was achieved with a tour that takes in the City Centre, Castlefield, Eastlands and the Salford Quays redevelopment projects.
