架构师提供的文本描述。索尔福德码头长期以来一直是一个活动中心；在20世纪初期，这里的码头是英国最繁忙的码头之一，处理了数百万吨货物。1985年，随着码头的逐渐衰落，该地区最终成为了一项创新的复兴计划的主题，该计划将洛里和帝国战争博物馆等景点带到了海边。WilkinsonEyre作为BBC媒体城市发展的一部分，为其转型的最新阶段做出了贡献。

Text description provided by the architects. Salford Quays has long been a hub of activity; the docks here were among the busiest in the UK during the early years of the 20th century, handling millions of tonnes of cargo. In 1985, following the gradual decline of the docks, the area finally became the subject of an innovative regeneration plan, which brought attractions such as The Lowry and the Imperial War Museum North to the waterside. WilkinsonEyre contributed to the latest stage of its transformation with a footbridge as part of the BBC’s Media City development.

WilkinsonEyre的人行桥形成了通往媒体城市中心的视觉地标和雕塑网关，并将其与曼彻斯特运河南侧的卫星开发和景点连接起来。它是编织新的城市粮食、加强以前不存在的加强联系以及帮助实现新的地方意识的关键因素。

WilkinsonEyre’s footbridge forms a visual landmark and sculptural gateway to the Media City site and connects it with satellite developments and attractions on the southern side of the Manchester Ship Canal. It is a critical element in weaving together the new urban grain, reinforcing links that were not there before, and helping to bring about a new sense of place.
