State of the City report 2024

The Our Manchester Strategy (2016-2025) outlined our ambitious vision for Manchester's future and established a framework for collaborative action with our city partners. The goal is for Manchester to be recognized among the top world-class cities.

Every year we show our collective progress towards these goals through the State of the City report, which is organised according to five key themes:

  • A thriving and sustainable city
  • A highly skilled city
  • A progressive and equitable city
  • A liveable and low carbon city
  • A connected city
