Urban Development and Regeneration in Ancoats, Manchester: From Industrial Suburb to Urban Village
Located on the north eastern edge of Manchester city centre, Ancoats was the first industrial suburb in the world when early steam-powered mills were built in the late Eighteenth Century. After it was severely hit by industrial decline over the course of the Twentieth century and its industrial buil...

Située au nord-est du centre-ville de Manchester, Ancoats fut la première banlieue industrielle au monde; c’est là que furent construits, à la fin du dix-huitième siècle, les premiers modèles de filatures fonctionnant à la vapeur. Après avoir été durement touché par le déclin industriel tout au long du vingtième siècle, et que ses bâtiments industriels ont été laissés à l’abandon, ce quartier a bénéficié d’un processus de régénération mis en œuvre à partir des années quatre-vingt-dix. Celui-ci reposa sur la conservation et la reconversion de bâtiments historiques et a été influencé par le concept de village urbain. Cet article explore la mutation d’un quartier urbain né d’une expérimentation pionnière en matière d’urbanisation liée à l’industrie, qui allait devenir un village urbain deux siècles plus tard. Néanmoins, le concept de village urbain reposant sur une vision idéalisée de la régénération, il n’était pas totalement compatible avec le caractère industriel d’Ancoats. Ancoats Urban Village Company développa alors une autre stratégie d’aménagement urbain, en menant sa propre expérimentation en matière de régénération urbaine, laquelle reflète à la fois le changement et la continuité. |
