CyanLines’ Post

What are nearly 100 people doing in the middle of Manchester on May Bank Holiday to be helped over a loch by Urban Splash founder Tom Bloxham? Answer, closing in on Capital&Centric Kampus, having completed the third CyanLines guided walk, led by the walking guidebook that is Jonathan Schofield CL2 as its known tells you everything you need to know about why Manchester, Salford, and Trafford are breaking new ground. They are slowly returning the streets, squares and surface car parks to people and nature. The ‘origin point’ Mayfield Manchester by Duncan Paybody Studio Egret West Martyn Evans Hon FRIBA Landsec is the gift that keeps on giving. Navigating the back streets to Urban Splash New Islington, the first real green and blue modern district at scale. To Ancoats Green where Shelagh McNerney Manchester City Council Planit have followed those leads to make a new park from an old one, creating play and meadows at the intersection between the outer edge communities and the middle. Off via Cutting Room Square Camlins still buzzing after nearly two decades. Team CyanLines thank you yet again for making this happen 🙏🏻 Steve Connor Carragh Godolphin-Teague Clare Dentith DipM Lisa Ashurst Tom Bloxham Jessica Bowles Sofia Raseta
