Manchester Strategy.
The Manchester Strategy 2016-2025 provides a shared vision and framework for action to deliver the city’s goals. Manchester aims to be in the top flight of world-class cities by 2025 when the city will:

This placement opportunity will be based within the Council’s Policy, Partnerships and Research service, a team working to develop the strategy and policies needed for the City to deliver on its objectives. This includes generating the evidence base that supports the city’s economic growth ambitions.
The study will look to identify what makes the city centre such an attractive place to live by canvassing the views of city centre residents to inform the Council’s strategy for future growth of this unique residential community.
You will provide high-quality data collection, analytical and evaluation support for the delivery of the research project. Key areas of work will include:
Stage 1 – Data Collection Collecting raw survey data through completion of a questionnaire.
Stage 2 – Analytics Inputting of survey data into Excel and comparing it with spatial, demographic and other differentiating factors as supplied in order to identify relationships.
Stage 3 – Data Visualisation Presentation of the data through maps, graphs and quantitative and qualitative analysis, along with recommendations.
Development Focus
