- Architecture_of_Manchester abstract "The architecture of Manchester demonstrates a rich variety of architectural styles. The city is a product of the Industrial Revolution and is known as the first modern, industrial city. Manchester is synonymous for warehouses, railway viaducts, cotton mills and canals - remnants of a past when the city produced and traded goods. Manchester has minimal Georgian or medieval architecture to speak of and consequently has a vast array of 19th and early 20th-century architecture styles; examples include Palazzo, Neo-Gothic, Venetian Gothic, Edwardian baroque, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and the Neo-Classical.Manchester burgeoned as a result of the industrial revolution with the Bridgewater Canal and Manchester Liverpool Road station becoming the first true canal and train station which were used to transport goods. The Industrial Revolution made Manchester a wealthy place, however much of this wealth was spent on lavish projects which were often at the expense of its population. Engineering developments such as the Manchester Ship Canal symbolised a wealthy and proud Manchester, so too did Mancunian buildings of the Victorian era, the finest examples of which include the neogothic Manchester Town Hall and the John Rylands Library. At the height of the Industrial Revolution, the city had nearly 2,000 warehouses. Many of these warehouses have now been converted for other uses but the external appearance remains mostly unchanged so to does the city keeps much of its industrial, brooding character.The 1996 IRA bombing sparked a large regeneration project with new buildings such as Urbis forming a centrepiece of this redevelopment. Over the last few years there has been a renewed interest in building skyscrapers in Manchester with Manchester City Council signalling they would be sympathetic towards 'iconic' skyscrapers which reflect the historic non-comformist attitude and uniqueness of the city. Beetham Tower was completed in the Autumn of 2006 and it is currently the tallest building in the UK outside of London. City centre regeneration work coincided with the property boom of the 2000s with one urbanist remarking on "the sheer number of cranes and the noise of the building work, with the sound of pneumatic drills in my ears wherever I went".Manchester was granted city status in 1853 due to its rapid rise and the first city to be granted such status since Bristol in 1542. Today, Manchester was on a provisional list for UNESCO World Heritage site status, with emphasis placed on the city's role in the industrial revolution and extensive canal network. Castlefield, west of the city centre is Britain's only Urban Heritage Park which aims to preserve the character and history of the area.".
