MediaCity (Vision)

We see MediaCityUK as an opportunity to start afresh.

It’s a blank piece of paper where we can gradually bring together all the ingredients that make a great place to live, work and visit.
Unlike most cities we’re not constrained by existing architecture or infrastructure, meaning there’s a chance to create something truly bespoke which meets the needs of our citizens.
This is a city designed specifically around the media industry. It’s a fairly broad audience – some of those who will come here might not even use the word media to describe what they do – but we expect MediaCityUK’s population to include everyone from TV producers to computer game designers.
We want this to be a genuine community, where collaborative relationships can grow and flourish. It’s a concept which we think reflects the way the industry is moving, as the boundaries between ‘new’ and ‘old’ media become increasingly blurred. This is a brave new world which will require talented people from different disciplines to work together – MediaCityUK is a place where this can happen.
We've made a short film to give you a flavour of this vision – and you can see it on our YouTube channel.
