The 9th episode of the Death of the High Street - Manchester

We are closer to home this time, but since London shocked me, I thought it was only right to head to my nearest big city, and see how the high street is looking there.

It is christmas time, so the markets are out, which always gives a sense that a place is doing well. But behind that, the retail seemed in the same state as everywhere else.

Also, by amazing coincidence, there was a talk going on in the evening in Manchester. The topic - the declining high streets. It was really interesting to finish the video there and get an in depth look at a serious study on what is going on. Hopefully I will be able to do more with there findings at some point.

I do love Manchester, it is a great city. It has fallen victim to the problem that everywhere has, which is...we just don't need that much retail space any more. How to reimagine it is the key question now.
