## Resource

Andy Burnham’s bold “place first” plan is transforming forgotten towns by injecting public funds to spark private investment, with Stockport’s £600m success proving the model works—new homes, better transport, booming town centers. His hands-on, collaborative approach is now rolling out to Middleton, aiming to build homes, boost commerce, and green spaces while listening to locals. With Greater Manchester’s 17.4% economic surge since 2017, Burnham’s vision is ready to scale nationally—despite fiscal hurdles.
