Megacity

Imagine Manchester, the Pennine towns and Leeds as one connected northern region. Megacity brings homes, work, culture and care into a shared vision, connected by the proposed Wuthering Wall Metro Line.

The proposal would replace the canal along the selected corridor with an underground Metro and a continuous green park above. New station neighbourhoods would bring homes, services and jobs together, with green landscapes between them.
