THIS WEEK | Greater Manchester Development Update
Join us in person or via livestream on Thursday 9 September as we hear from Greater Manchester councils, Ian Simpson, Simon Ismail and more on the future of the city region.
Regenerating town centres has been a priority of Mayor Andy Burnham but have they benefitted as a result, and what is the role of the M60 suburban towns post-Covid? Will suburban settings see a surge in developer interest as working patterns change? What will be the next city region investment hotspot?
