A Media City is currently being constructed on 16 hectares of former dockland, close to the Salford Ship Canal. |
A dockland service introduced in late 2000 proved to be a significant loss-maker and was axed after 12 months. |
Now, a new phoenix is projected to rise from the 800 acres of decrepit dockland along the city's eastern shoreline, again in the prime south. |
The project will also facilitate the conversion of parts of the dockland areas of Värtan into residential development. |
This June, newly elected federal shipping minister Nitin Gadkari appointed a committee of architects, officials and others to look at the potential for dockland redevelopment. |
Instead, we explored the bustling boardwalks of the restored historic dockland, watching boats come and go and keeping an eye out for fur seals. |
