This essay updates the once vibrant political economy literature on Manchester andargues that good governance, as well as good fortune, underpinned an uneven but strongurban-regional renaissance from the late 1980s through the economic boom periodleading up to the financial crisis. After establishing the case for making this claim, it goeson to consider the extent to which Manchester and its broader city-region has provenresilient in the face of recession and is likely to be affected by the fall-out that will resultfrom UK government attempts to manage the second phase of the crisis throughswingeing public expenditure cuts and fundamental policy realignment. It concludes byanticipating whether a radically changed economic and political environment is likely tolead to the continuation, collapse or recalibration of Manchester’s unique and emergentcity-regional governance arrangements.
