Jonathan Glancey examines the relationships between five pairs of cities around the world. 3: Liverpool/Manchester- Broaden Your
Horizons. Located a mere 30 miles apart, the Lancashire cities of Liverpool and Manchester have been inextricably linked since the inception of the Industrial Revolution. However, their recent fortunes make a stark contrast to the industrial boom of years past.
Liverpool, once the second city of Empire, declined as shipbuilding ebbed away and has never really recovered. With its stunning Georgian terraces and classical masterpieces like
St George 's Hall, it is thought by manyto be more aesthetically pleasing than its work-a-day twin.
Manchester, on the other hand, has managed to regenerate itself with vitality and confidence. Why have these two cities, twinned by the Industrial Revolution, fared so differently and will Liverpool ever be able to catch up? Producer Jane Beresford
