City Brief #1

Words I have picked out from the city brief that I think are important.

Meet and converse, respect, develop, relationships, communities, individuals, companies, explore, communications.

Maureen Ward (http://www.manchestermodernistsociety.org/) spoke of living in Hulme and next to the Mancunian way for years, and living squashed right up next to it. When looking over these images I noticed how even the road lights are tightly packed in, just skimming the underneath of the concrete structure. Why the is there a need to be and to build so very close and cosy with this monolith?

One of four entry points to the underpass/outerpasses under the Mancunian way. On a bright sunny day, it still seems uninviting.
