Manchesterism beyond Manchester: blueprint or category error?

In this Espresso Shot episode, David and Mike ask what Andy Burnham's "Manchesterism" actually means for the rest of the UK now that he's setting policy from Downing Street. They unpack the concept and explore if it can or should be  transplanted to geographies without  Greater Manchester's nine years of mayoralty and 25 years of AGMA before it. They discuss how the same policy goal can demand different delivery models in different places, and ask if national government is about to reward places that already have institutional capacity while leaving others further behind. For LED and placemaking professionals, it's a sharp prompt to map their own convening architecture before reaching for the Manchester playbook.
