How Europe’s Economic Boomtown Can Grow

Manchester aka “Manc-hattan” is a booming city on the verge to become a major global player.

Compared to other European cities, Manchester’s GVA growth is almost 5-6x times greater annually, according to the Centre for Economics and Business Research. No wonder why real estate investors have been moving in fast.

This year’s State of the Market event will examine what’s behind this rush of activity, and how contractors and developers are keeping up with the opportunities and challenges the city represents. We want to explore Manchester’s medium-term economic forecast and discuss the regulatory and infrastructure changes that are needed in order to grow the city into a global hub where not only temporary visitors but more importantly students and families want to remain in the city center to work, live and play.
