The city we now know as Manchester was once a roman settlement called Mamucium.

Manchester is situated where it is due to confluence of the rivers Medlock and Irwell. It was predominantly a military development to protect roman trade routes. 

Small scale industry, commerce and markets gradually established around 1200 AD. Between 1760-1830 during the industrial revolution, the city shifted from a rural/agricultural to an urban/industrialised society.

This great industrial city was a trigger to develop modern planning due to an unprecedented rise in the urban population. The borough of Manchester formed under 1835 Municipal Corporations Act.

Today Manchester is a world-class city offering people a great place to live, work and visit. Our airport and infrastructure compete on a global scale as well as being an international business hub and the birthplace of industry and innovation. We are home to world class football teams, the largest student population in Europe and named as one of the fastest growing cities in the UK with 70% of graduates choosing to stay in the city.

In September 2020, plans were approved for a new £350 million music and indoor sports arena, which would become the biggest indoor arena in Britain, next to the Etihad Stadium by an American firm that is expected to bring in £1.5bn into the city’s economy over the next 20 years.
