## Resource

Manchester’s bold new “CyanLines” project is taking shape—with floating walkways set to weave a 100-mile green network across Greater Manchester over the next decade. Starting in Manchester and Salford, the vibrant paths will soon link Piccadilly Station to the Etihad Campus along the Ashton Canal, featuring upgraded lighting, surfaces, and rain gardens. Backed by local councils, Manchester City FC, the Canal and River Trust, and the National Trust, the initiative blends nature with active travel for a healthier, more connected city. A feasibility study for a floating walkway on the River Irwell is underway, while routes in Newton Heath and Rusholme are also in development. Meanwhile, the National Trust advances phase two of the Castlefield Viaduct “garden in the sky,” aiming to stretch its green canopy from 120 to 330 meters—turning urban infrastructure into thriving public spaces.
