“The first of the three spines (Reaching full potential in education, skills and employment) is focused on connecting more people to the success of the city and to support them in achieving their full potential through education, skills and employment” (State of the City 2011: 8)
'Sense of Place'“...our consultation showed that people did not have to live in a place for a long time to have their own sense of the place or affinity to it. Newly arrived communities highlighted how their Sense of Place – or belonging – was something they felt over a short period, especially if they had used public services to support their integration into the city and their ability to reflect their culture as well as the new British culture.” (MCC nd: 7)
Community Cohesion“Manchester is a diverse city, which helps people from different backgrounds get on well together; we have mutual respect for ourselves, our neighbours and the communities of Manchester (State of the City 2011: Communities of Interest , p. 45; emphasis mine)
Desire to attract skilled, entrepreneurial, wealthy migrants
Multiculturalism central to Manchester's 'brand'
Original Modern – migration part of a cosmopolitan history
