Atlantic Gateway
Accelerating Growth across the Manchester and Liverpool
City Regions
Framework for a Global Growth Opportunity
The Atlantic Gateway is a framework for collaboration between
the Manchester and Liverpool city regions which will help to unlock
their full sustainable
economic growth potential. The city regions extend beyond the
administrative boundaries of Greater Manchester and Merseyside to
include the wider shared hinterland of both city regions across
Warrington, Halton, Chester and northern Cheshire.
The connected economic geography, with overlapping labour and
housing markets, provides a unique opportunity for the Atlantic
Gateway to become one of Europe’s leading low carbon, economic
growth areas – second only to London within a UK context.
