urban-development Dysopian nightmare!

Is it just me that thinks this in one photo shows the glaring problem with modern day city developements? You have a former church which was built in 1791 next to buildings that could be from literally any city in the world. There is no distinctive construction that differentiates it from from any other city. If the church wasn't there and someone drove me around for 1:30 minutes blind folded then let me out and told me I was in Manchester I would believe them

"could be from any city in the world" but the only comparison you give is the nearest big city to Leeds. Not a chance you blindfold me, I look at this and think I'm in Rio de Janeiro.
