Open heart surgery
Article Abstract:
The bombing of the centre of Manchester, England, by the IRA in Jun 1996 caused extensive damage. However, this has also brought valuable opportunities to completely rebuild a large area of the city. There is strong determination to create a vibrant, attractive heart for Manchester, and this regeneration project will serve as a model for many others. New development is mainly focusing on retail property, with The Shambles, previously a secondary pitch, now being targeted as a new primary location.
