Masterplan landscape design for mixed-use development at Manchester Ship Canal, featuring green roofs and public realm.

Gillespies developed the landscape masterplan for this major mixed‑use development on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford. Comprising some 3000 new homes, commercial buildings, a new Metrolink line, a new bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal and 8ha of new green and blue infrastructure, this £1bn development is one of the largest and most exciting residential-led developments in the North West.
