A building planner and architecture firm’s new YouTube video shows the remarkable progress of Greater Manchester’s ever-changing skyline.

VU.CITY is a city-planning firm based out of London that specialises in building out 3D platforms which render both existing, developing and future structures.

Better yet, it shows a 3D visual representation of what they will look like in the coming months and years.

Here is the changing face of Manchester:

Pretty cool right?

It’s even crazier to think what the trajectory of this video would have looked if you wound the clock back even by another 10 years.

As you can, not only has the company shown city’s skyline evolves over time, the company recently highlighted both central and Greater Manchester, highlighting the likes of Salford, Salford Quays and Stockport as they continue to grow.

Not only is Manchester one of the fastest-growing cities in Europe but two different towns in the region have been named among the best places to live in Britain over the past 12 months alone, but the city centre itself was named by Time Out as one of the best locations to visit anywhere in the UK.

It’s no wonder some of the happiest people in the country also live here, apparently.

Part of Greater Manchester named as one of the happiest places to live
