This Manchester City Council report marks the end of their Community Strategy approved in 2006. It details the 'period of transformational change' seen in the city over the last ten years. It also sets out a number of issues still to be resolved and states that some inequalities and challenges have been made worse by the impact of welfare reform and cuts to public services. 
In early 2016, Manchester agreed its shared vision outline in the Our Manchester strategy to be a world-class city, with residents who live longer, and are happier and wealthier. The Our Manchester Forum provides strategic leadership on the delivery of the city’s priorities, as set out in the Our Manchester strategy. The Forum is also responsible for ensuring that the new Our Manchester approach is embedded in all sectors of the city.
