A NEW panel of young professionals will give their perspective on plans for the coronavirus recovery across Greater Manchester, with a special focus on infrastructure and sustainable development.
The Greater Manchester Young Professionals Panel (GMYPP) was established last February to provide insights and input from young professionals in the city-region working in the areas of planning, economic development, housing, infrastructure, and sustainability.
The group is made up of men and women from a range of different backgrounds and organisations, including Manchester City Council, global accountancy and consultancy firm Deloitte, architects and urban planners BDP, international professional services firm WSP, Homes England and the Environment Agency.
The panel members have made a series of recommendations in a report to the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), including engagement with higher education institutions, investing in public transport and cycling, increasing digital outreach, and lobbying central government for more devolved powers.
