Who’s Involved The joint venture In order to meet the residential growth ambitions for this key part of the city, in 2016 the council decided to seek an investment / development partner with the financial resource, ambition, under- standing and expertise to jointly drive forward the redevelopment of the Victoria North pro- gramme area and deliver its full potential. [...] Leaders from both the council and the developer recognise the need to build trust in the local community. [...] In addition the University of Man- chester were commissioned to produce research reports, enabling researchers not directly in- volved in the programme to have the types of conversations with local people that the council and the developer were not able to have in the early stages due to the lack of trust. [...] It's not all owned by a couple of people at the top of the organisation or a couple of people in the local team.” Key shared strategies include the ‘Our Manchester Strategy’ and the ‘Housing Strategy’. [...] The coun- cil’s partners highlight how the clarity of thought and the long-term strategic direction, enables them to buy into the vision, giving them confidence that Manchester is a great place to do busi- ness, a great place to invest, to work and to live.
