About this Event
Joint Resilience First and Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce
The population of Greater Manchester is predicted to grow by 10% over the next 20 years. This equates to 190,000 - 240,000 more people living in the city-region which will require around 179,000 new homes by 2037. Over and above this increase in demand on energy provisions and the city’s infrastructure, this growth is also expected to create up to 100,000 new jobs by 2037. At this event, we would like to explore this subject further ensuring resilience and sustainability is at the core of this urban change by bringing together Paul Dennett, The Mayor of Salford, in conversation with David Wright, Group Chief Engineer & Group Director of Safety, Health & Business Resilience, National Gridwith, and business leaders from the engineering and built environment sectors.
This is a scenario that is being mostly replicated across cities with the rapid growth in urbanisation. Insights from this event can therefore be shared across cities to impart the learnings and build city resilience.
Kindly hosted by the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce
