Manchester was the birthplace of the industrial revolution and today
is one of Britain's most lively and dynamic cities. It is the north
west's regional centre for finance, commerce, retail, culture and
leisure, home to a major international airport and one of the largest
student populations in Europe. It is transforming itself from an
industrial city dependent on manufacturing to a thriving, modern,
dynamic, international city, a great location for business, for
visitors and as a place to live, work and study.
