Regeneration
Salford is a city where innovation, leadership and partnership working are contributing significantly to the increased economic vitality, growth and competitiveness of Greater Manchester and the region as a whole.
These web pages tell you about some of the innovative and partnership-led regeneration programmes that are currently helping to transform Salford into a great city of the future. At the heart of this transformation is a commitment to involve and engage local communities.
Creating sustainable communities in Salford
During the last decade, massive investment, more jobs, greater economic prosperity, improved environment quality and lower crime levels are changing the perception and image of the city for the better. More people are now choosing Salford as a place to live, work, invest, visit and study than ever before.
The successful transformation of the former derelict Manchester Docks into the award-winning Salford Quays has been a catalyst for regeneration across the city. The BBC's decision to relocate some of its key departments to Salford Quays and the creation of MediaCityUK is clear evidence of this.
The Manchester Salford Pathfinder is one of only nine Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder projects nationally
Salford’s New Deal for Communities programme in Charlestown and Lower Kersal has set new standards for the engagement of local people in regeneration
Investment partnerships are helping to establish the city as an area of massive developer potential, particularly in communities such as Seedley and Langworthy, and Broughton.
The Central Salford Urban Regeneration Company has brought together the City Council, Northwest Regional Development Agency and English Partnerships, alongside other regeneration partners and developers, to drive the transformation of Central Salford into a beautiful, vibrant and prosperous city. The success of Central Salford will contribute enormously to the economic wealth and profile of the city and the north west.
The west of the city also has a vital role to play in the development of the city region. The Salford West Strategic Regeneration Framework sets out an ambitious vision for the area over the next 20 years. The framework will create sustainable, connected and inclusive communities by: developing the area's green space, tourism and leisure assets; creating a network of high quality neighbourhoods; and ensuring a strong and prosperous local economy
A neighbourhood plan for Claremont and Weaste co-ordinates regeneration activity locally to secure the future stability of the area.
Much of this success can be attributed to the Salford’s impressive track record of partnership working and, under the umbrella of Salford’s Community Plan, the local strategic partnership - Partners IN Salford - aims to ensure that working collaboratively, with both key partners and our citizens, remain at the heart of the city’s development.
These are exciting times for Salford.
