I totally agree that Liverpool could have the edge on Manchester with having the water front which really exaggerates a cities presence. Manchester has many amazing buildings but due to the massively different styles can loose cohesion. As we don't have a water front to give us a view of the city we need a concentration of beautiful and tall buildings in one area of the city. Spinningfields was a wasted opportunity for the city to show the world a Mancunian take on the 21st century skyline. I'm not sure we have the room left in the city for such a development again. Instead of dotting the skyscrapers around the city they should be grouped.
