The Lowry and Media City UK in Salford, UK were designed by famous architects James Stirling and Michael Wilford in 1986 and voted as some of the best architectural designs in the UK. These areas have become popular tourist attractions known for their views and landscapes. In 2014, top town planner McGorton decided to invest £32 million to redevelop Media City UK and The Lowry to make them more accessible. For The Lowry, he wants to introduce retailers like Topshop, H&M, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell to attract younger audiences. While some believe this could damage the upscale brand image, most feel it will enhance the local population and promote new apartment developments with great views of the areas.

‘SALFORD BUILDINGS TO GO WITH THE WIND’
Striking Salford buildings which are THE LOWRY and MEDIA CITY UK have been voted as one of the best
architectural design originally designed and developed by James Stirling and Michael Wilford at 1986. In 1991,
both of these architectures were voted as the most impressive architects where they also designed the
Staatsgalerie in London voted as number one in the City of London.
These areas have been the most attractive architectural designs for many tourists to take photographs due to
the best viewpoints and good landscapes into becoming one of the greatest landmarks from many different
parts of the UK such as the heart of London, Edinburgh and Ireland.
2014 the year of redeveloping the community, top town planner McGorton has decided to invest £32 million
to reconstruct Media City UK and The Lowry into a more accessible place for people to come.
For the buildings in Lowry, he wants to expand this to make this more suitable for young adults as the place
only targets for older people and for those who earn higher incomes. This would be done by introducing new
retailer franchises such as TOPSHOP, Selfridges, H&M, and many more retailers that are suitable for younger
audiences as well asfast-food restaurants such as Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and many more exciting shops that can
be found in Manchester.
He believes that the heart of Manchester Town is becoming more crowded. For these people, the Media City
UK and The Lowry can be the alternative for these people to come to.
Although, some people believe that this will ruin the brand image, especially for high-income consumers who
often shops in this area. But in spite of that, more people believe that this would be a great opportunity to
enhance the population, especially to promote the apartments from the opposite sides of the docks and the
benefit of this is that these people living in the area would give them a great viewpoint everyday morning and
the fantastic lights appearing at night.
