Manchester! Cinematic Drone Views of The Evolving Dynamic Skyline in 4K

[@AlanSpooner-h9w]

Manchattan is coming along nicely. So glad to see the world's first industrial metropolis transform itself into a vibrant exciting 21st century wonder.

[@tumslucks9781]

It took them long enough. Manchester's not much of a city but its better than Sheffield!

[@Discobiscuit372]

I live in Liverpool and my partner lives in Salford, Greater Manchester so I spend most of my time over there, I love Manchester, been goin there for over 30 years now and the city just keeps getting bigger and more exciting. ♥️

[@junepercival418]

Great to see there are still trees standing in Englands second city!

3rd City our kid

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

But Manchester is NOT Englands Second City mate, do your resurch. The City of Manchester is officialy the 6th largest City of Englland and the UK after the City of Liverpool the 3rd largest City, the City of Glasgow 4th largest City, the City of Bristol 5th and the City of Manchester the 6th largest city with a population of 580,000 citizens. The UK's ooficial Second City and Second largest City as per the UK Government is the CITY OF BIRMINGHAM with Europes largest City Council and a population of 1.5 million + and Birmingham has been the second City for 200 years now, don't go down the road of Greater Manchester as that is not a City it is just a Metropolitan County Council. do your resurch.

Que linda a Cidade de Manchester e vídeo espetacular com qualidade enorme da imagem. Parabéns pelo vídeo!

[@PaulK-ve1pu]

Blimey! When I were a lad in Rochdale, used to come to Affleck's Palace at the weekend and the Arndale was the tallest building there. Live in Cornwall now and haven't been to Manchester for years. Coming back soon though; it's like Chicago!

[@invtrk1046]

Wow, Afflecks Palace is still going. You're gonna be surprised to visit the city centre now when you return!

[@andrewsteele1819]

Absolutely brilliant footage love it ❤

[@jackrich_350]

Amazing. Manchester had always been one of my favourite cities. Can't believe how much it's changed. ❤

[@thomHD]

One of the only cities in the UK where it's easy to find a smart modern apartment with concierge etc for a grand a month. This is what we need as the population approaches 70 million - not sprawling housing estates or Victorian terraced houses.

[@Roddersville]

Superb footage and soundtrack - and feels almost as if we’re in one of US’s great cities! Manchester’s development hasn’t finished yet either 😁

[@Simonster28]

I know its not a competition but I can't believe how far ahead Manchester is looking compared to Birmingham.

[@MrTSK27]

To be fair it IS a competition...Second City anyone?!!

[@English_Dawn]

@@MrTSK27 When asked about Second City. Londoner "Birmingham". Brummie "Birmingham". Manc "London".

[@philmitchell91]

Yeah, Manchester punches well above it's weight unlike Brum. Although Brum is improving slowly, Manchester beats it in terms culture, sports, media and skyline. Brum only has its population as a reason to claim itself as the 'second city' lol. I imagine the gap is only going to widen when there's inevitable investment around the Trafford area (although not 100% sure if Trafford is considered part of Manchester by Mancs). Even so, if almost everything wasn't so London focused, Manchester could be a good candidate for another UK Olympics in he future

[@rahmij]

Trafford isn't part of the City of Manchester. It has it's own borough Council, totally separate from Manchester City Council. ​@@philmitchell91

Well it is and should be, as competition drives growth!

THANKS YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO

[@BardhokNdoji]

Thanks for watching

[@VirtualExerciseChannel]

Nice drone footage!😎😎👍👍

[@English_Dawn]

Fantastic flim, panoramic, moody, edited and colourful. The first of the Trinity Island Towers' quartet a new landmark dramatically catches the eye. The unloved Strangeways area with the prison on the former site of Strangeways Hall, home of the Ducie family is getting some attention. The Echo Street/Vimto Gardens Bowmer/Kirkland will be a landmark. Downtown districts were traditionally for offices, e.g. Canary Wharf. Not really so in Salford & Manchester. Largely residential and pricey, aimed at students and ex -students. Offices are second-best now because of WFH. Mayfield Development, Rylands and House of Fraser apparently seem to be rather stagnating. The jury seems to be still out on Viadux2 with the decision overdue. One project apparently that has been waved through is the Hotspur student building. Much obliged, a joy to watch. 👀

[@ianchappytube]

outstanding 🤩

[@АлмазКарибеков]

Such a cool 👌 city

[@TheLifeOfDan1]

Absolutely amazing shots. How far Manchester has come. Now only if it could have one or two true ICONIC towers. They’re all pretty generic at the mo!

[@mi......]

that 3:50 shot is fantastic

[@parmentier7457]

Nice. It looks a bit like the skyline of Rotterdam.

[@GARdotETH]

Wow! Amazing footage.

[@BardhokNdoji]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ThomasField-t8i]

Manchester’s focus should now be to build towers in the 400-500M range. London can only build to around 300M.

[@BardhokNdoji]

That’s interesting. Was not aware of a height limit on London high-rises. What is the reason for that?

[@ThomasField-t8i]

@@BardhokNdoji The stupid City Airport. The airport is completely unnecessary considering you have two or three other airports quite close. Also, but I am not completely sure about this, the view to St Paul’s cannot be obstructed.

[@topofthemorning1234]

Manchester can't afford it and is tiny compared to London.

[@topofthemorning1234]

​@@BardhokNdoji Because of restricting views of the historical sights like St Paul's etc just like Paris,Rome etc. Plus London is built on clay not rock. Anyway give me history before ugly lego buildings anyday.

[@Jomo-x6n]

@@ThomasField-t8i I would have thought that the current Mayor of London would like to block all views of St Paul if you see what I mean 🤣.

[@visitandshare]

Superb ❤ Very nice location dear❤ The video is awesome. Have a great weekend ❤

[@English_Dawn]

Please note that railway line through the centre of Mcr, from Piccadilly to Deansgate that features a lot in your shots was constructed by the Manchester South Junction & Altrincham Railway also labelled "Many Short Journeys and Absolute Reliability" was constructed with around 124 arches and 50 million bricks.

[@eprohoda]

Greetings- yoou uploaded top . 😇

[@robertcarneyarclocksmiths]

best CITY in the world

[@English_Dawn]

Thing is, essentially Mcr is flat, so that means the skyline is visible for miles. For example the view from the MCFC Campus, in the evening, with the red rooflights dramatic.

[@BardhokNdoji]

That is actually my next stop but been waiting for weather perfect moment. Believe it or not, it is the view I have from my living room :)

[@michaelkeene4708]

No the view from the stadium to the city.

[@English_Dawn]

Painstaking waiting for the right weather conditions.

[@cartoonvandal]

Wonderful video :) Can't wait for Contour to rise. Anyone any news on Viadux 2?

[@English_Dawn]

@@cartoonvandal As far as I know Viadux2 the decision was due months ago. English Heritage objected to the height of one of the three parts, the 76 storey tower. Since then it seems to have been kicked into the long grass. Sakboy/Domis had planned to sort out the contracts then get on site July onwards with a four year programme. If the 76 storey tower is cut back or eliminated it probably makes the other two parts, the affordable housing tower and public realm improvements, uneconomic. The original plan for Viadux2 was for a fifteen storey office block. Working From Home put paid to that as office building is becoming toxic. House of Fraser, Mayfield and Rylands which included offices also apparently in stasis.

[@cartoonvandal]

@@English_Dawn Thanks for the info. Exactly how much power and what leverage to English heritage have? To put it bluntly, can't they simply be thanked for their opinion and 'ignored'?

[@English_Dawn]

@@cartoonvandal Not sure. It's been delayed thus far. The whole Viadux2 is at risk. Aware of the Hotspur Building on Cambridge Street? Similar situation. Developer wants to build a student tower alongside. Mcr. Metropolitan U. objected saying only 9%(?) were affordable. Council passed it. Perhaps 9% is better than nothing and nothing getting built.

[@rasaspa]

not sure if it is worth buying/renting/investing in those flats in high rise buildings at the city centre of Manchester, the prices start from £350K for sale and £1800 for renting! for 40-50 m2 one bed flats!

[@roberbonastre3380]

good skyline but it seems a little ugly to me that all the skyscrapers are practically the same with a square design and the same color

[@BardhokNdoji]

Yes, I do hope for some different designs on the new planned and approved projects.

[@Marcus-ut3hj]

Noting special 🤷🏻‍♂️Birmingham has a way better skyline which includes more historical buildings not just concrete towers 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@churchmouse2096]

Please don’t build a gherkin or shared like London. We do need a very iconic sky scrapper now that beathem tower is getting on a bit. Maybe blue and red twin towers 😮

[@j_c2225]

I wish we had some big cities in Ireland

[@IDMmaster-l2m]

You prob need to get electricity there first.

[@Wriggs74]

And Salford.

[@BardhokNdoji]

Correct. It is hard to showcase Manchester Skyline without Salford, or vice versa. They both complement each other.

[@ThomasField-t8i]

Manchester will never compete with London in terms of quality of the Skyscraper build, so it is better Manchester focuses on building them high as possible. London has restrictions to high it can go. This is where Manchester can surpass London.

[@bernardmcmahon351]

Great video, great buildings but. I can’t help wondering how youngsters can afford over £1000 a month,

[@Marcus-ut3hj]

Salford isn't in Manchester the city😂its has its own council

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

[@daveglynn748]

[@markuserikssen]

Impressive footage, though I do think the modern architecture looks soulless and poor. The older brick buildings look way better.

[@noreligionisthebestreligion]

Is this supposed to be beautiful?

[@jimk2723]

Yes it's supposed to be beautiful and it is also means that Manchester is developing 🎉 high rise buildings are better because it's better than taking away the countryside 😊

[@adam70628]

Having a taller Skyline doesnt make Manchester the second city it simply is not Birmingham has twice the population btw i live in neither city

[@BardhokNdoji]

That's right, but having a larger population doesn't necessarily make a city more important. For instance, in Scotland, Edinburgh is the capital, while Glasgow has a larger population. Similarly, many countries have capital cities with smaller populations compared to other major cities, including Australia. So, what criteria do you consider when determining which city should be the second most significant? I'm not entirely sure, but I’d guess it involves looking at multiple factors rather than just one.

[@topofthemorning1234]

Just looks like many American cities,a few office blocks surrounded by housing. No history just a status thing. Not impressive at all and the city of Manchester is quite small in size. Rome is one of the World's greatest cities but not a single skyscraper. Lego cities are ugly.

[@LA90598]

Matter of taste. You can't compare Rome to Manchester. It's a modern city thats alive and growing. It has great opportunities for young people, given them chance to be creative and to develop and to bring fresh ideas for the future. Manchester does have a rich history... birthplace of industrial revolution, and it's playing a part in the new tech revolution, with many tech unicorns. The great thing about the UK is there is something for everyone. Buzzing cities with opportunities like Manchester, beautiful, historic cities like Cambridge, Oxford, Edinburgh and cities with a bit of both like Bristol, Liverpool, Glasgow, Leeds. Italy unemployment rate 8.3%, UK unemployment 4.2%
