our vision
A thriving city region where everyone can live a good life
Our collective vision for the next decade is to see a thriving city region where everyone can live a good life. But economic and social progress have always gone hand in hand here, so Greater Manchester is only successful if every part of our city region and every person in our city region is successful.
With all partners working together, we have a once in a generation opportunity to tackle spatial, demographic and socio-economic inequalities, and create opportunities for everyone of every age and place to live well. Growing the support, control, connections and resources people need to lead a healthy, happy life, fulfilling their potential and sharing in success. This means public services working in a very different way – led by communities and supported by enabling systems.
Impacts
We’ll make our vision happen by doing two things side by side: growing our economy and making sure everyone has what they need to live a happy, healthy life.

Where the economy is growing

Where everyone is able to live well

Where there is a more equal and greener future for all our people

Where the foundations of life are fixed: shelter, safety, mobility, opportunity and support
Workstreams
We achieve our vision through seven workstreams, which, together, will fix the fundamentals in life, make us a greener and more equal city region, help grow our economy and make sure everyone can live well.
