BOOK NOW | Greater Manchester’s Emerging Development Hotspots
From Eccles to Wythenshawe, this brand-new event will tell you all you need to know about the areas local councils have earmarked for major investment and growth in the coming years, including how you can get involved.
Many areas of Greater Manchester are thriving, while others have been left behind. Until now.
At Place North West’s newest event, top decision makers within some of GM’s most active local authorities will give you the lowdown on the places that are being primed for regeneration.
Across a series of panels and presentations, you will find out where the region’s emerging development hotspots are and get a better idea of the opportunities to get involved in their transformation.
Be prepared to get excited about Radcliffe, Castleton, and the Wigan & Bolton Growth Corridor.
Greater Manchester’s Emerging Development Hotspots will be held on 16 February at Manchester Science & Industry Museum.
The half-day conference begins at 8am and is sponsored by Telcom and Far East Consortium.
Our expert speakers will provide insight into what goes into identifying potential property hotspots, as well as talking through early-stage proposals to transform down at heal town and district centres, and opportunities for private sector collaboration.
We know this half-day conference is a great opportunity to make that next great business connection, so we’ll also provide networking opportunities throughout the day, including during a pre-panel breakfast and post-panel lunch.

Yes GMs savvy local authorities know how to work with the private sector and large financial insitutions in order to improve the lives, living conditions ,and environment for their citizens. It`s almost reached the point where they are falling over themselves to invest in the area, and no doubt the parts of GM that are still left behind will catch up soon .

Time for the Greater Manchester towns to start getting serious investment. No more messing about.
Manc city centre needs to start pedestrianising and addressing its blue and green space issues.

Two areas that will really benefit from big investment and are ‘sleeper areas’ for Manchester due to their locations and transport links. Lived in both for many years. This a very good thing.
