Northern Powerhouse
— noun / devolved
political and economic
power redressing the
North – South economic
imbalance, and to attract
investment into northern
cities and towns
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE THIS STRAND?
This is a dynamic and contemporary topic to
undertake for your home project. It examines
Manchester, an international city that has the
biggest economy in the north but also a range
of growing social problems such as the largest
homeless population outside of Manchester.
The concept, introduced by the Conservative
government, aiming to encourage a healthy
economy in the North, centred around Manchester.
Some have welcomed this, inviting the
positives that will come out of it, but it raises
the question of do social issues need to be addressed
for Manchester to hold on to the title
of ‘Northern Powerhouse’?

WHAT WILL IT COVER?
The strand looks at three aspects of the Northern
Powerhouse Debate. It looks at Manchester’s
digital and creative industry, which is rapidly
growing. It touches on the development of Media
City becoming the media hub of the country.
