How do we do that?
By prefabrication. By using the network of Manchester Ship Canal. Bringing it back to a new life. Shipping in components, 160 of them, Meccano-like.
And then we rebuild the Old Trafford station and that becomes the pivot, the processional way to the stadium, welcoming and at the heart of a new sports-led neighbourhood. It's walkable.
It's well served by public transport. It's endowed by nature. It learns from the past. It creates streets. It's a mixed-use mini-city.
So what makes a global destination? What makes something so special? It's teamwork. It's the best brains. The civic leaders, the owners, the consultants, the engineers, the architects, the fans.
The list is so long. It's a team effort that is at the heart of the success of this project.
