Cities Northwest

Cities do not live in isolation.  In the Northwest we are witnesses to the greatest partnership between cities in history.  Together, they created the world’s first railway and connections that powered the industrial revolution.

Commissioned by the NWDA and produced by The Centre for Sustainable Urban and Regional Futures (SURF), The Centre for Urban Policy Studies (CUPS), The Institute for Political and Economic Governance (IPEG) and Salford GIS, Rethinking the Northwest Spatial Economy explores the ways our cities link to and complement each other and how they contribute to regional growth.
