In this paper, the author wants to provide a systematic review of the classical model of urban development in the Ancoats, using the political economy of the city as the basis for a theoretical perspective. The paper will critically analyze the history of development of the Ancoats and the current situation of the region in the light of Marx and Engels' urban political economy. The analysis of the history of development will focus on the characteristics and patterns of urbanization and industrialization in the Ancoats, while the current situation of the region will be considered in terms of the benefits and limitations of urban regeneration and gentrification.
