Focus is on institutional, procedural issues. Background on concepts of partnerships, what do we mean by governance/partnership convey a sense that strategic planning on any level (local, regional etc) is about partnership/governance/multi-agency networking. In general, (not focused on Manchester) explain governance/partnerships how has evolved, background on policy matters, why local planning authorities have to work certain way etc this is quite general overview of governance and it doesnt need to be more than 500 words.

Economic and social context: from this section on the focus is on Manchester. Background on Manchester, what type of place it is, City of Manchester / Manchester City Region and its strategy with surrounding authorities. Devomanc etc.
