Contemporary cities serve as sites for a wide range of interventions by designers, ranging from informal graffiti and temporary installations to community murals and rearrangement of public spaces. Artists and designers have a critical role to play in making cities distinctive, attractive, liveable, and dynamic. In this urban forum – part of cities@manchester’s established series - we will discuss the meaning of design interventions in Manchester and other cities.

Chaired by Andrew Karvonen, Lecturer in Architecture & Urbanism (University of Manchester)

Introduced by Malcolm Garrett (RDI)

Panellists: Michael Mayhew - Artist Curator, City Arcadia Coventry David Rudlin - Urbanist, Urbed - Urbanism, Environment & Design Garry Hunter - Curator, Writer Jack Thompson - Technical Director, Manchester International Festival
