Cities Network - Manchester
Date: 30/03/2011
This year, the Centre for Cities will be marshalling our network of partner cities into a formal programme of events and workshops. We will be bringing together city leaders, business organisations, employers and Whitehall throughout the year, to generate practical ideas about how cities can rise to the challenges of cutting budgets while growing private sector jobs. IBM, who has been a valued partner of the Centre throughout 2010, is a key sponsor for this work.
Our work with cities such as Birmingham, Liverpool, Derby and Sheffield via our Partner City programme has exposed the huge appetite for dialogue and generation of policy ideas between cities, Whitehall and business.
The network will convene four times during 2011, in different cities around the UK. The first Cities Network session was held in Manchester at the end of March and the focus was on employment and the Work Programme.
