How Middleton’s revival could be grist to the mill for Britain’s struggling towns
Turnaround initiated by Andy Burnham and led by Steve Coogan could provide blueprint for other neglected areas
中文導讀
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham 同演員 Steve Coogan 近期喺 Middleton 推動社區活化計劃，透過改善市容同經濟配套，成功令呢個被忽略嘅城鎮重現生機。呢個模式唔單止係單一地區嘅成功，更被視為英國其他衰落城鎮嘅參考藍圖。對於移英港人嚟講，留意呢類社區發展項目，可以更了解英國政府點樣透過地方分權，去解決地區經濟發展不均嘅問題，亦係觀察英國城鎮未來轉型嘅重要指標。
