The skyline of the south east city centre seen through first floor windows of the new Piccadilly Station building, completed 2002. The grey building on the left belongs to Manchester Metropolitan University, Portland Tower is centre left, Minshull St courts on the right and the Sunley Tower centre right.

Manchester City Council want to build on the green area in the middle. Development has gone past saturation point and is starting to degrade rather than enhance the city centre. This precious piece of open space should be left as it is.
