The CityCo POPs Forum aims to support managers of privately owned public space (POPS) in Manchester City Centre.
The ambition is:
- To support our members in operating some of the best POPS
- To effect consistency of quality visitor experience across Manchester city centre POPs
- To provide a strong voice for the management of POPs across the city centre
- To retain the unique characteristics of Manchester city centre’s POPS.
The information provided in this toolkit comes from a range of sources:
- From real time experience of managing issues in public spaces
- From sharing of best practice amongst peers locally, nationally and internationally
- From first-hand experience of dealing with the same issues in publicly owned public spaces
- From study of place management academically
- Multi-agency partner inputs.
If you have responsibility for managing a space that is open to the public, then this forum is designed for you. Being part of the forum and using the information in this toolkit will ensure that you:
- Understand the impact that outside factors can have on your space and how to best manage it
- Have information at your disposal that will help you deal with the key issues facing POPS management today
- Give you a clear steer of the core management issues you need to be up to date with to effectively manage your space
- Have a pathway to ongoing learning from peers, sharing of best practice, and training.
If you would like to add content to the Toolkit, share best practice, or have any questions please email Jessica.Cox@cityco.com
