The role of housing and place in Manchester’s growth

Overview

Manchester is reimagining what it means to live well in a growing European city. Through major new housing projects, such as Victoria North, Manchester is pioneering a new generation of healthy, sustainable, community-centred housing.

This session explores how housing can act as both catalyst and connector, shaping not just homes, but whole neighbourhoods that support wellbeing, inclusion, and long-term resilience. And looks at how we take the vision for volume home building through to practical delivery, delving in to Victoria North as a case study.
