The City of Salford in North West England is a local government district of Greater Manchester, with a population of (). At its core is the former factory town and inland port of Salford, which has a wealth of Victorian industrial heritage. Many of the city's tallest buildings are residential tower blocks, constructed during the mid-20th century in the Brutalist architectural style. Since the 1996 Manchester bombing, which initiated a redevelopment programme for Greater Manchester, the city has witnessed a boom in the construction of high-rise apartments, particularly at Salford Quays, a former dockland. Geographically, commercially, and culturally, Salford is dominated by its immediate neighbour, the City of Manchester, which lies across the River Irwell. Although Salford and Manchester followed a similar pattern of urbanisation during the Industrial Revolution, Salford did not evolve as a commercial centre in the same way. In contrast to the vast majority of Manchester's tallest buildings, many of Salford's high-rises were constructed in the 1960s and '70s as part of a regeneration project to alleviate chronic social deprivation and urban decay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Salford )〕 Thirty towers at Pendleton once comprised the highest density housing estate in Europe. Some of the early high-rise buildings have been demolished, as they provided unsatisfactory accommodation for families and caused as many social problems as they were meant to alleviate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Salford City Council )〕 Others have become accommodation for students at the University of Salford. A study by the university's Christopher Collier suggested that Manchester's drizzly climate is largely due to the number of high-rise blocks in Salford. Collier has proposed that they have a "dramatic influence on the region's weather patterns", and may contribute to the 8 °C (14 °F) temperature difference between Salford and its surrounding countryside. This list includes the year each building was completed, its height in metres and feet, and its current usage. Unlike other cities in the world, Salford's tallest structures are dispersed and not concentrated in a central business district. The tallest building in Salford is Blue, in MediaCityUK, a high-rise office block completed in 2010; the 18-storey building is 90 metres (300 ft) high. The largest skyscraper proposed for the city was Canopus/Greengate Tower, a postmodern structure projected to be completed in 2008, which would have stood at . The project was cancelled, but a revised tower of is currently under construction. The oldest structure listed is the Neo-Gothic Salford Cathedral, which was completed in 1848 and was Salford's tallest building for 121 years. When assessing planning applications in Salford Central, it is common for Salford City Council to consult with Manchester City Council given the close proximity to Manchester City Centre.〔http://publicaccess.salford.gov.uk/publicaccess/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=consulteeComments&keyVal=NA6OZCNP00B00〕 ==Tallest buildings and structures== Completed buildings in Salford taller than are listed below.
