From urban buzz to greenbelt tranquility, Salford is building on the mixture of its waterfront, urban and countryside environments to create places where people want to live, work, invest and wander.
Salford is about 200 miles north west of London. With excellent road and public transport links to all parts of the UK, the city is well established as a visitor and commercial center. In addition, Manchester International Airport, a gateway to over 200 international destinations, is just a few miles away from Salford.
The city of Salford is 37 square miles wide and comprises five districts: Salford, Eccles, Worsley, Irlam and Cadishead, and Swinton and Pendlebury. Some 249,000 people are proud to call Salford their home.
The Blackfriars, Broughton and Ordsall districts of central Salford are just a one minute's walk from the heart of Manchester's shopping and central business districts - just across the River Irwell, which connects the two cities.
Salford's closeness to Manchester's city center makes it an important part of the economy and culture that is driving England's North-West forward. Salford and Manchester enjoy a unique situation: their connection brings rich opportunities ranging from the potential for business relocation and development to establishing Salford's waterways and watersides as key regional and national visitor attractions and turning the city into a residential area of choice within Greater Manchester.
