Since this report Manchester City Council has been working with the major institutions and stakeholders within Oxford Road to ensure that the maximum benefit is gained from the development of the area for the residents of surrounding areas as well as the City as a whole. Oxford Road is home to The University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University, the Central Manchester and Manchester Children’s University Hospital Trust and the Royal Northern College of Music. Alongside these key institutions the area hosts a wide range of cultural facilities, from the Manchester Central Library in the North to the Whitworth Gallery in the South, including the Cornerhouse, the Manchester Museum, the Contact Theatre, Manchester Academy, the Dancehouse Theatre and the BBC. Parts of Oxford Road are currently undergoing the most significant physical development programme in the city and the largest group of recent, current and planned investments in knowledge intensive activity anywhere in the North of England. Well over £1.5 bn is being invested by the Universities and the Hospital Trust alone and significant PFI investment is being made in the adjacent communities. This investment, coupled with proposed key developments such as the Biomedical Research Centre, will secure and strengthen Oxford Road’s status as the leading centre for research in the North and signifies the commitment of the key institutions to the delivery of the Manchester Science City programme. It is estimated that just under 37,000 people (12% of the City Centre’s workforce) currently work in the Oxford Road area. Planned investment programmes in the major institutions, together with major new commercial developments at Central Spine and Great Jackson Street have the potential to generate a further 5,000 jobs; predominantly in financial and professional services, creative industries and communication technologies, making Oxford Road not only the primary focus for the future economic growth of the City Region, but also critical to the development of the higher value-added economy built on creativity and innovation that is vital to the future economic trajectory and competitiveness of the region as a whole. Significant opportunities exist to support and enhance the development of such knowledge intensive activity. However the area faces considerable challenges to its future growth if it is to realise this potential. The role of Oxford Road as a major gateway to the city centre and the busiest bus route in Europe leads to significant problems of congestion and environmental impact. Very significant volumes of traffic movement, both to and through the area, add to the poor quality of much of the external environment. Reconciling the role of the Oxford Road as a key radial route with the inherent economic strength and potential of the area is critical to any future development. Investment in the public realm has not kept pace with growth in capacity within the Oxford Road area and there is a clear need to promote a new and higher standard in 3 the public realm in order to ensure that Oxford Road provides a more fitting address for the major institutions but also that it becomes an attractive and functional area for attracting visitors and investors to make use of its, as yet under-exploited, retail, employment and cultural potential. The potential for Oxford Road to support a more diverse and dynamic economy has not yet been realised. The historic development of the area has created large and sometimes under-utilised buildings and the potential for more diverse activity (including retail and cultural) to meet the demands of residents and visitors to the area and the communities adjoining it has not been fully explored. The contribution of the Oxford Road area to the economy and well-being of its surrounding communities can also be further exploited. The communities adjacent to Oxford Road are home to a vibrant and relatively stable population, yet employment of local people remains at a relatively low level and the area suffers from lower than average educational attainment and high levels of deprivation. The major institutions are not yet viewed by adjoining communities as fully accessible and there is a need to ensure that the further growth of the Oxford Road institutions is managed in order to promote greater integration, both social and physical, with adjoining neighbourhoods. 2 OXFORD ROAD DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP The key institutions in the Corridor: University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University and Central Manchester Hospital Trust, have joined with the City Council to establish a Development Partnership, the objectives of which are to: - Establish a coherent strategy for the area (from St Peters’ Square to Whitworth Park and from Cambridge Street/Upper Lloyd Street to Upper Brook Street) - Add value to the existing investment programmes - Deliver additional resources to address some of the impediments or barriers to development which the area faces (for example the need to improve the quality of public transport and public realm) and - To maximise the area’s potential to support new business development, inward investment and employment growth Membership of the Board of the Partnership has been expanded to include other key public and private sector stakeholders in the area, principally to ensure that the Board has the breadth of skills and experience to enable it to deliver the above objectives. 3 STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK Significant work has taken place since the last Executive Report to identify a cohesive strategy for the area. This work is largely complete. The Oxford Road Strategic Development Framework has been endorsed by the Partnership Board and is ready for consultation and publication. The Framework identifies a number of principles which the Partnership has adopted in order to ensure the opportunities offered by the current investment plans are harnessed and exploited in a coordinated way. These principles are as follows: 4 - Maximise the opportunities arising from current and planned development and forecast economic growth for the area - Support continuing growth in the area with improvements to transport infrastructure which reduce traffic and congestion - Improve physical, economic and infrastructure linkages between key institutions, districts and communities - Re-balance highway and public/pedestrian realm by creating a unifying public realm ‘vision’ for Oxford Road, with a sustainable urban realm and landscaping - Encourage and support the development and improvement of local education, enterprise and employment growth - Capitalise on and promote Manchester’s Science City status and Oxford Road as the heart of the Knowledge economy - Improve ground floor amenities within the area in particular retail, leisure and cultural facilities and offerings - Promote and reinforce pedestrian, cycling and public transport throughout the area - Improve environmental quality of Oxford Road with reduction in pollution, emissions and noise - Promote an awareness of Oxford Road and increase the area’s impact and influence as a destination of choice The Framework establishes the baseline for the area and, applying the above principles to the baseline, introduces key strategic objectives in each of the following areas: Improving the infrastructure and public realm of the area It is widely recognised that the physical infrastructure and public realm in the area needs improvement as the use of Oxford Road as a key transport route has resulted in a deterioration of the public space.

It spans seventeen critical years in T which public funding was contracting, student grants were diminishing, instructions from the government and the University Grants Commission were multiplying, and universities feared for their reputation in the public eye. It provides a frank account of the University’s struggle against these difficulties and its efforts to prove the value of university education to society and the economy. This volume describes and analyses not only academic developments and changes in the structure and finances of the University, but the opinions and social and political lives of the staff and their students as well. It also examines the controversies of the 1970s and 1980s over such issues as feminism, free speech, ethical investment, academic freedom and the quest for efficient management. The author draws on official records, staff and student newspapers, and personal interviews with people who experienced the University in very 1973–90 different ways. With its wide range of academic interests and large student population, the University of Manchester was the biggest unitary university in the country, and its history illustrates the problems faced by almost all British universities.
