The Council and democracy State of the city report

State of the city report 2022

The Our Manchester Strategy (2016-2025) sets out our long-term vision for Manchester’s future and provides a framework for action by us and our partners across the city. The vision is for Manchester to be in the top flight of world-class cities in 2025. It will be a city:

  • with a competitive, dynamic, sustainable and fair economy that draws on its distinctive strengths in science, advanced manufacturing, and culture, creative and digital business to cultivate and encourage new ideas
  • with highly skilled, enterprising and industrious people
  • that is connected, internationally and within the UK
  • that plays its full part in limiting the impacts of climate change
  • where residents from all backgrounds feel safe, can aspire, succeed and live well
  • that is clean, attractive, culturally rich, outward-looking and welcoming.

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