Greater Manchester is changing for the better. Or so, that is the plan, according to Paul Dennett.
In this lecture, Paul Dennett—the current City Mayor of Salford—will illustrate his vision to change the future of Greater Manchester. This includes an increase in affordable homes and the creation of new jobs, tied into a greener economy; enabling much brighter times ahead for Greater Manchester’s young people, who are rightly concerned about their individual and collective futures.
So, how does the Greater Manchester Combined Authority Plan aim to deliver on these promises?
The promise of an increase in better jobs, affordable housing, and improved transport following a pandemic does sound challenging. That’s because it is.
Paul’s plan, however, puts the environment first: develop on brownfield land, whilst protecting Green Belt land from unplanned development. Paul will argue that his plan for Greater Manchester can only succeed through people working together. Manchester will need to be a city united if we are to provide new opportunities for school-aged leavers, putting the region in the best position for the future.
The plan, entitled the ‘Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan of Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Tameside, Trafford, and Wigan Councils’ is at the heart of Paul’s proposal to improve employment opportunities for young people, to build the right homes in the right places, rejuvenate green spaces and reshape town centres. As a long-term plan for jobs, new homes, and sustainable growth, Paul will argue that it will enable us to build back from the COVID-19 pandemic in a way that brings everyone with us, striking at the roots of inequality.
