Policy@Manchester resources
As the University’s policy engagement institute, Policy@Manchester provides thought leadership pieces by academics and organises events to share expertise.
Research from The University of Manchester is addressing key policy issues globally, nationally and locally. Below, we highlight research that is particularly relevant to Greater Manchester policy agendas, including two publications (one on place-based approaches to tackling inequalities and one on urban regeneration), a selection of recent articles, and recordings of events that discuss issues affecting the north.
