Episode Details

Stockport is on the brink of a massive urban revival, with plans to build 8,000 new homes by 2040 through a bold new Mayoral Development Corporation. Already delivering a modern transport hub and reviving a historic cotton mill, the project also aims to bring schools, healthcare, and extended Metrolink trams to the heart of town. A former bus depot will become 1,300 new homes, while businesses and residents flock back — fueling a cycle of growth officials hope will set a national blueprint. Similar development corps are already shaping cities like Bolton, turning underused spaces into thriving hubs and proving that revitalized town centres can attract investment, life, and lasting community.
