Out on my bike again this afternoon, I've been thinking for a while how there are so many pockets of Manchester which have been lying abandoned - since the credit crunch put a stop to all but the bravest and boldest property developers. Many buildings and sites have been standing in the same paralysed state for at least a year now, like monuments to an era of extravagance and limitless borrowing.
Could some of these concrete skeletons be put to innovative use, with Dickson Despommier's concept for 'vertical farms', or are they all destined to lie empty for a few years yet.?
