4x4 Manchester 2015: The Reunion

Every Wednesday in May the 4x4 Manchester series will take place. Come along to one or all four!

Each week we will focus on a different area of Manchester which had undergone regeneration. We will invite 4 people involved in the regeneration process at various times back together, for a Reunion. They will be speaking about the project from different perspectives, through this process we will review the regeneration process and outcomes, the successes and failures, as well as give an idea of what the pressures were at the time of designing/ building as well as the future of the area.
