Every year, Manchester City Council publishes a State of the City report to demonstrate progress towards the Our Manchester strategy. Our Manchester sets out the long-term vision for City's future, a city: 
- with highly skilled, enterprising and industrious people
- where residents from all backgrounds feel safe, can aspire, succeed and live well
- that is clean, attractive, culturally rich, outward-looking and welcoming
This year's State of the City highlights a number of ways the City Council and its partners are addressing the challenges facing the city.
