Manchester City Region

Manchester City Region

The Manchester City Region is an area of England centred on Manchester. It was one of eight city regions defined in the 2004 document "Moving Forward: The Northern Way", [ [http://www.thenorthernway.co.uk/downloaddoc.asp?id=276 Moving Forward:The Northern Way] ] as a collaboration between the three northern Regional Development Agencies.

The Manchester City Region encompasses fifteen local government districts: it includes the cities of Manchester and Salford plus the adjoining metropolitan boroughs of Stockport, Tameside and Trafford to the south and Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and Wigan to the north, together with High Peak, Congleton, Macclesfield, Vale Royal and Warrington. The inclusion of these five areas would add 656,355 inhabitants to the 2,562,200 already in Greater Manchester creating a City Region of 3,218,555 (putting it into the top ten of Largest urban areas of the European Union).
