Manchester, once famed for its 24-hour party people, is planning a pioneering age-friendly neighbourhood to ensure life after youth stays just as vibrant. Part of a £1.5bn redevelopment of North Manchester General Hospital, the project will combine zero-carbon homes, healthcare facilities and public spaces designed to help older residents stay active, connected and independent.
It’s all part of a £1.5bn project to redevelop North Manchester General Hospital in the city’s Crumpsall district. A collaborative effort involving Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and Manchester City Council, working alongside ageing experts and architects.
Included in the plans is a zero-carbon neighbourhood, which will integrate health and social care facilities with quality housing, a commercial quarter and outdoor spaces.
