Over the last three decades the City of Manchester has transformed its economic base, created new urban districts and revived historic quarters once in decline. From iconic landmarks across the city centre and East Manchester’s neighbourhood regeneration to established residential communities, the City has worked with public/private partners to overcome challenges and improve the quality of life of our residents, encourage the attraction and retention of talent, and create the conditions for sustainable economic, social and cultural growth.

From Ancoats and New Islington to Spinningfields, NOMA, St Johns and The Factory, Mayfield and the UK’s biggest new Arena - Co-op Live - the City continues to develop and grow. ID Manchester, a new innovation district led by the University of Manchester, and the on-going NHS Trust estate renewal are all key components of the next stage of the Manchester story.

But there is more to do.

Manchester is a city with a long and proud tradition of triumphing over adversity and our recovery plans in response to the global Covid19 pandemic focus on our key regeneration opportunities and investible propositions, building on new initiatives including our zero carbon ambitions, to ensure the City can continue to grow and prosper.
