Metropolitans is presented by EuroNews in association with EUROCITIES. The face of Manchester is changing. It has the UK's biggest solar energy project, on the tallest office block outside London, a brand new County court also boasting eco-credentials, and regeneration is in the air. After being the cradle of the industrial revolution, everything's gone green. A city's environmental quality is its main trump card for attracting new residents as well as investors. But urban activity produces 80 percent of greenhouse gasses. Greater Manchester is trying everything to reduce the city's environmental impact. So "Manchester is my planet" has been born; a partnership allying universities and business with local authorities. Their goal is to offer advice and support innovative projects, and inform the public.
