This consultation is now closed.

Manchester’s successes over the last 20 years have been well documented. Our city now has more people, more jobs and more employment opportunities. There are also more businesses and places to live in the city.  Find out more about Manchester from the State of the City Report 2022. Manchester City Council is developing a new Economic Strategy for the city which will set out the Council's ambition that Manchester will have a high performing economy which benefits all residents. The Economic Strategy will be launched in Autumn 2023 and will guide the city’s vision for growth until 2030. The strategy will complement the Council’s existing Transport, Work and Skills Strategy and Climate Change Action Plan and will include the following: 

  • The current strengths of the economy in the city – its breadth and size
  • Focus on investing on the enablers of economic growth to ensure the city remains economically competitive  
  • A longer-term economic plan to drive growth
  • Ensuring that all Manchester residents are able to benefit from a growing economy

We want to hear from organisations and people who live or work in Manchester to help shape the future growth of the city.  

Please complete this survey by Sunday, 3 September 2023 to have your say.
