Focus
Dissects the rise of city-centre living in Manchester, especially the scruffy, independent, allegedly ‘unplanned’ bits under all the boosterism.
My take
Reads like someone walked from an agents’ window on Deansgate into a DIY gig in a mill and then tried to reconcile both realities in one paper – great for remembering the city wasn’t always luxury PR renders and rooftop prosecco.
