About Manchester Manchester is recognised around the globe for its rich music history and heritage which cuts across musical genres and takes in live performances as well as a legendary nightclubbing scene. Situated in the North West of England Manchester's population and economy are amongst the fastest growing in Europe. Over the last 25 years it has been transformed from a struggling post-industrial city with a declining population to the UK's fastest-growing city playing a confident role on the international stage. In 2019, Manchester was listed by the Confederation of British Industry as the second largest creative city in Europe after London with a GVA to the city's economy of £1.4 billion. Manchester was host city for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and the city's bi-annual Manchester International Festival, first held in 2007, is now one of the world's leading arts festivals and the first to be entirely focused on the commissioning and producing of new original work, much of which goes on to be seen by audiences in cities around the world. Manchester has been a UNESCO City of Literature since 2017, and joined the international Music Cities Network in 2019. It has also just been designated a UNESCO City of Lifelong Learning.
