Culture does not just mean cultural products – whether ‘high’ or ‘popular’, local or global – it means ways of living and acting, of expressing, of thinking and learning. Cities have always been about culture – but culture has now emerged as a central strategic axis for the development of cities. Economic, social, technological and educational strategies are increasingly linked to this cultural axis. The cities that learn to respond to the cultural challenge will emerge best equipped in a competitive world where information, knowledge and content creation represent the keys to a sustainable local economy. In the last decades cultural policy has been concerned to use traditional, contemporary and popular culture to promote the image of the city as forward looking and dynamic, a place for investment and re-location as well as a tourist destination. Investment in infrastructure has frequently been accompanied by an emphasis on extending access to, and participation in, cultural products and activity. The challenge now is to place culture in all its aspects at the centre of the new city. This demands new understandings, new modes of governance, new structures that can only emerge from a city capable of engaging in a strategic process of reflection, learning and imagination. This study is a contribution to that process. It is concerned with cultural production, the creation of new content at local level and the promotion of this production at national and international levels. Cultural economy is part of global flow but in this the distinctiveness of local business clusters is crucial. The ability to take advantage of these global flows, to develop a local infrastructure to mobilise the full range of local talents and experience – these are the key elements of this strategy. i CONTENTS SECTION 1 1.

The research was commissioned to provide MCC and the City Pride partnership with an overall mapping of the cultural sector; a detailed understanding of the dynamics, needs and potential of the sector; and to inform strategies for intervention and support. The research builds on two earlier studies and forms part of an on-going action research and policy development process within the city. The first was an overview of existing research and information sources concerning the cultural sector at national, regional and local levels. The purpose was to determine the research requirements necessary to underpin a strategic approach to the support and development of the cultural sector in the City Pride area of Manchester, Salford, Trafford and Tameside. The report, Review of Existing Research presented in April 1997, concluded that there was a clear lack of both quantitative and qualitative knowledge of the sector at national, regional and local levels. The second examined the provision of sector and sub-sector specific information, advice and guidance at formal and informal levels and lead to a feasibility study for a Cultural Industries Development Service (CIDS). Based on literature review and interviews with support agencies, representative bodies, local cultural organisations and businesses; the report found (i) there was a great need for sector specific information and advice; (ii) that this was not being provided within the City Pride area; (iii) cultural institutions and businesses were themselves providing a great deal of this advice and information at an unpaid, informal level. Based on a small survey of 25 individuals/organisations, the report calculated the time spent by providing this informal support amounted to around 300 hours per week. 1ii This study (Initial Feasibility for CIDS May 1997) formed the basis for a CIDS business plan produced by Burns-Owens Partnership (BOP) and MIPC. The business plan underpinned an ERDF application by Manchester City Council which has been successful (June 1999) in drawing down £ ¾ million over 3 years for CIDS, itself sat within a local ERDF Action Plan for Tourism and Cultural Industries of around £5 million. 1iii The two reports - Review of Existing Research and Initial Feasibility for CIDS - were commissioned by MCC based on the advice

  • E-Petition Session: TV Licensing, HC 1233
    Petitions Committee Oral evidence: E-petition session: TV Licensing, HC 1233 Monday 1 March 2021 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 1 March 2021. Watch the meeting Members present: Catherine McKinnell (Chair); Tonia Antoniazzi; Jonathan Gullis. Other Members present: Rosie Cooper; Damian Collins; Gill Furniss; Gareth Bacon; Jamie Stone; Ben Bradley; Tahir Ali; Brendan Clarke-Smith; Allan Dorans; Virginia Crosbie; Mr Gregory Campbell; Simon Jupp; Jeff Smith; Huw Merriman; Chris Bryant; Mark Eastwood; Ian Paisley; John Nicolson; Chris Matheson; Rt Hon Mr John Whittingdale OBE, Minister for Media and Data. Questions 1-21 Chair: Thank you all for joining us today. Today’s e-petition session has been scheduled to give Members from across the House an opportunity to discuss TV licensing. Sessions like this would normally take place in Westminster Hall, but due to the suspension of sittings, we have started holding these sessions as an alternative way to consider the issues raised by petitions and present these to Government. We have received more requests to take part than could be accommodated in the 90 minutes that we are able to schedule today. Even with a short speech limit for Back- Bench contributions, it shows just how important this issue is to Members right across the House. I am pleased to be holding this session virtually, and it means that Members who are shielding or self-isolating, and who are unable to take part in Westminster Hall debates, are able to participate. I am also pleased that we have Front-Bench speakers and that we have the Minister attending to respond to the debate today.

  • From Manufacturing Industries to a Services Economy: the Emergence of a 'New Manchester' in the Nineteen Sixties
    Introductory essay, Making Post-war Manchester: Visions of an Unmade City, May 2016 From Manufacturing Industries to a Services Economy: The Emergence of a ‘New Manchester’ in the Nineteen Sixties Martin Dodge, Department of Geography, University of Manchester Richard Brook, Manchester School of Architecture ‘Manchester is primarily an industrial city; it relies for its prosperity - more perhaps than any other town in the country - on full employment in local industries manufacturing for national and international markets.’ (Rowland Nicholas, 1945, City of Manchester Plan, p.97) ‘Between 1966 and 1972, one in three manual jobs in manufacturing were lost and one quarter of all factories and workshops closed. … Losses in manufacturing employment, however, were accompanied (although not replaced in the same numbers) by a growth in service occupations.’ (Alan Kidd, 2006, Manchester: A History, p.192) Economic Decline, Social Change, Demographic Shifts During the post-war decades Manchester went through the socially painful process of economic restructuring, switching from a labour market based primarily on manufacturing and engineering to one in which services sector employment dominated. While parts of Manchester’s economy were thriving from the late 1950s, having recovered from the deep austerity period after the War, with shipping trade into the docks at Salford buoyant and Trafford Park still a hive of activity, the ineluctable contraction of the cotton industry was a serious threat to the Manchester and regional textile economy. Despite efforts to stem the tide, the textile mills in 1 Manchester and especially in the surrounding satellite towns were closing with knock on effects on associated warehousing and distribution functions.

  • The Urban–Rural Divide Anirudh Krishna September
    ESID Working Paper No. 101 Globalised growth in largely agrarian contexts: the urban–rural divide Anirudh Krishna 1 September, 2018 1 Duke University Email correspondence: [email protected] ISBN: 9 978-1-912593-05-7 email: [email protected] Effective States and Inclusive Development Research Centre (ESID) Global Development Institute, School of Environment, Education and Development, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK www.effective-states.org Globalised growth in largely agrarian contexts: the urban–rural divide Abstract The gulf in living standards is widening between cities and rural areas of developing countries that have large rural populations. Legacy as well as emergent factors contribute to this trend. An old urban bias from colonial and post-independence times was supplanted by a newer metropolitan bias as global investments began to arrive on these shores. More poorly served by social and physical investments, individuals in rural areas are less well prepared to compete for the better positions. Trends in the technology of manufacturing processes are worsening the prospects for rural youth. Citizenship bonds between the urban rich and the poor in rural areas are fraying as widening differences in lifestyles and aspirations, overlaid on existing inequalities, are cleaving societies into disparate segments of space-age rich and stone-age poor residents. Managing their vastly unequal situations within a common framework of policies and laws is making the tasks of a development state more difficult. This paper examines the forces giving rise to urban-rural inequality and presents the need for institutional and policy reforms. Keywords: Inequality, rural–urban difference, developing countries Krishna, A.

Exacerbated by the general loss of horticultural skills, the introduction of compulsory competitive tendering and the budget cuts of the 1980’s, the national perception of parks as shabby “no-go” areas took root in a lot of areas around the country. 2 Despite the national trend the City Council has sought to continually improve its parks. Since 1992 Manchester Leisure has had a dedicated Parks Management Staffing Structure focused on the needs of visitors and the local community, and able to deliver a wide range of events and leisure opportunities via its Park Warden Service.
