  • Manchester Independent Economic Review
    MANCHESTER INDEPENDENT ECONOmiC REVIEW Reviewers’ report About the Review The Manchester Independent Economic Review provides a detailed and rigorous assessment of the current state and future potential of Manchester’s economy. It contains a rich seam of evidence to inform the actions of public and private sector decision-makers so that Manchester can achieve long-term sustainable economic growth and boost the performance of the national economy. Completely independent of local and national government, the Review is led by a panel of five prominent economists and business leaders: Sir Tom McKillop: Chairman, Manchester Independent Economic Review Diane Coyle: Managing Director, Enlightenment Economics Ed Glaeser: Professor of Economics, Harvard University Jonathan Kestenbaum: Chief Executive, NESTA Jim O’Neill: Chief Economist and Head of Global Economic Research, Goldman Sachs The Review Panel commissioned seven world-class organisations to work on seven strands of analysis which provide a deep and cutting-edge analysis of the economics of the Manchester City Region: the way businesses and people interact in terms of trade and skills, the causes and impact of innovation, how investment comes about and the effect it has, and why, despite all this economic activity and growth, stubborn pockets of deprivation still persist. An ambitious agenda-setting report pulls together the seven strands of analysis, output from the comprehensive economic baseline study, as well as incorporating the extensive intelligence gathered from a year long consultation across the public, private and voluntary sector, which will be the foundation of an ambitious economic strategy so that the world-class research the Review has produced is used to drive Manchester’s aspirations forward.

  • Northern Powerhouse Factsheet Key Figures on the City Regions in the Northern Powerhouse June 2015
    Northern Powerhouse factsheet Key figures on the city regions in the Northern Powerhouse June 2015 Introduction The idea of a ‘Northern Powerhouse’ was first introduced in June 2014 by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, in a speech in Manchester. He made the case that the lack of economic and physical connections between the cities and city regions of the North of England was holding back their growth, with significant implications for the national economy. In the Chancellor’s own words: “the whole is less than the sum of its parts…so the powerhouse of London dominates more and more.” For Osborne, the solution to this challenge is the creation of a Northern Powerhouse – “not one city, but a collection of northern cities - sufficiently close to each other that combined they can take on the world.” Since the Chancellor’s initial speech, a raft of interventions have been announced to help turn the rhetoric of a Northern Powerhouse into reality – including the Greater Manchester Devolution Deal, Transport for the North, and the Northern Transport Strategy. With the creation of a Northern Powerhouse set to be a key priority for the new Government, this briefing sets out the current economic profile of the key city regions across the North and compares their performance with that of London and of the UK as a whole. Reflecting the policy pledges contained within the Conservative manifesto, for the purposes of this analysis the Northern Powerhouse is made up of the city regions of Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Hull and

  • Greater Manchester Resilience Strategy 2020-2030
    Greater Manchester Resilience Strategy 2020 - 2030 April 2021 Greater Manchester Resilience Forum Foreword Since setting out to develop this Strategy, Greater Manchester has faced a deadly terrorist attack, major flooding, moorland fires on an unprecedented scale, the effects of COVID-19 and a range of other emergencies. During this period we have also planned for the UK’s exit from the EU and declared a Greater Manchester climate change emergency. It is clear that resilience is, and needs to be, a major priority for the city-region, an area that is home to over 2.8 million people. Just as people, businesses and our cultural heritage tend to be concentrated in our town and cities, risks and opportunities are focused here too. In this context, urban resilience, and the capacity for the places in which we live and work to survive and, if possible, thrive through disruption and crises, becomes fundamental to our collective success. We live in a world where uncertainty is a fact of life. But this doesn’t mean that our ability to create the future that we want should be limited. It doesn’t mean that we’ll wait for emergencies to happen before we act. Greater Manchester has set out its plans for integrating health and social care services, boosting the economy, increasing the availability of affordable housing, reducing crime, enhancing community cohesion, and creating a better environment in which to live, work and visit. But, in making these plans, we must consider the complex challenges we face and establish a pathway to maximise opportunities to build our resilience to the shocks and stresses that could affect us.

  • Interview with Paul Simpson, Managing Director, Visit Manchester 24 April 2012
    inspire, engage, connect. Interview with Paul Simpson, Managing Director, Visit Manchester 24 April 2012 How is Visit Manchester delivering against the Strategic Framework objectives and in particular objective 2: To develop compelling destinations? Visit Manchester was created in 2004 following Marketing Manchester (created 1996) being given strategic responsibility for tourism in Greater Manchester by the Northwest Regional Development Agency. The Strategic Framework for England has helped develop our vision for Greater Manchester to be a more compelling destination. The Greater Manchester Destination Management Plan 2012-13 (which sits below the tourism strategy, ‘A Tourism Strategy for Greater Manchester 2008-13’) follows the Strategic Framework’s approach by establishing the following objectives: • create globally recognised and iconic events, developments, initiatives and opportunities; • ensure a better quality of life for the communities of Greater Manchester and the wider City Region; • make the practices of the City Region’s tourism sector a key plank of delivering against the Original Modern brand vision; • tackle the tough issues like wider community benefits through tourism; accessibility and diversity; a more inclusive night-time economy; • embark on a ‘blue skies’ strand of long range thinking that explores issues such as technological change, demographic shifts and environmental sustainability. Manchester’s key ingredients of success are: 1. Very strong civic leadership - there are 10 Local Authorities throughout the Greater Manchester area (Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Manchester, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Wigan) and for many years they have worked in close collaboration with each other and with Marketing / Visit Manchester. There is very strong civic leadership that exists across Greater Manchester, particularly in the form of AGMA (Association of Greater Manchester Authorities).
