What is the role of culture in building more sustainable communities? Part of it is enhancing people’s sense of belonging to the city and its development, in ways that are accessible to all including the most deprived.

Dave Moutrey, Manchester City Council Director of Culture and Director of HOME
Kasper Heiberg Frandsen, Partner, Schmidt Hammer Lassen
Thea Behrman, Senior Project Manager, Estuary 2020
Peder Baltzer Nielsen, Chief City Architect, Municipality of Aalborg
James Heather, Development Director, Mayfield, U+I
