Listen "The DNA of Manchester - Part II"
Episode Synopsis
It is not possible to talk about the character or traits of Manchester today without talking about deindustrialisation and the city's revival. In our work on The DNA of Cities, we see enduring and severe traumas such as this as a kind of epigenetic event – as a shock that alters a city. In the early 2000s, there was a feeling that Manchester could be capable of being more, again. It's not that Manchester wanted to re-instate itself as the world's industrial powerhouse in the 21st Century, but its own history and its sense of what and who it had once been formed a kind of aspiration for its own future. In this episode, we learn about the city's recovery with Brian Groom, Peter Saville, Sir Richard Leese, Mike Emmerich, Christine Cort, John McGrath and Jessica Bowles. – Bass Vibes - Rollin at 5 by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100462 – Sound design by Dainius Kacinskas.
