Title: Birley Fields
The centre of Manchester is experiencing building work on a scale not seen since the industrial revolution. Areas like Hulme are being rebuilt for the second time in thirty year. Local resident Jeremy Davies believes there is a unique opportunity for the council to build a park or city zoo on land earmarked for office development.
