摘要

The rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool Football Club is among the oldest and fiercest in football. The teams first met in 1894, when competition between the two cities-30 miles apart-reached fever pitch. That year marked the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal, an effort to bypass Liverpool's bustling port with a direct water route from the Mersey to central Manchester. Over a century later, old enmities continue to divide many of England's northern cities. Such localism is taken for granted in Britain. But it is sapping the competitiveness of the country's industrial heartland. Trace a rectangle 110 miles long and 90 miles wide, with Blackpool at its northwest corner and Birmingham to the south. The region contained in it has most of the ingredients for a global metropolis. In area and population it is comparable to Greater Chicago-home of corporate headquarters, world-class cultural amenities and soaring towers. Both Chicago and Britain's metropolitan north are former industrial centres that grew rich in the 19th century but fell on hard times in the 20th. Yet their paths have diverged.
