This video Follows on from my first Building Boom in Manchester video, which I published in 2020. Themes include modern architecture in Manchester, new architecture in Manchester, its merit or otherwise, heritage in Manchester and whether it is being preserved and enhanced properly or not.

That video has been my most successful video to date so I decided to do a follow-up in 2021.

Here are the chapter headings

And as I mentioned, you can accompany me on my Manchester photo walk and pick up some photography knowledge and techniques along the way. More details here.

At the end of the video, I ask these five questions. You can find out what I really think about these topics by reading the accompanying article to this video http://www.aidan.co.uk/bbm21/

Is Manchester City Centre going to be a place for everyone to live or just a high-earning minority?
Are enough affordable apartments being built?
Is most new construction of architectural merit or just faceless, clinical new apartment buildings?
Should we do more to remember Manchester as it was?
Should older buildings such as pubs be saved, no matter what?

I said that you can find some information about the hidden past of Chapeltown, which is currently being turned from a forgotten backwater into an upmarket residential district.
Watch this wonderful song and video with archive images of Chapeltown, including a few of mine. It's by musician Chris W.

By the way, I used my Brompton folding bike to get around the city centre and photograph all the locations. In my opinion, it's an essential piece of photographic equipment! I sometimes use it as a stand to rest the camera on. I often do moving shots from the bike.

I chose some great music for the video, welI I think so!

The final track by the prolific Mexican musician Asher Fulero sounds like film music to accompany a French rom-com drama, with the accordion, and it gives a lighter touch and mood that contrasts with the subject matter, but in a good way.
