Effective infrastructure is critical for delivering economic growth, providing essential services, and addressing the national challenges ahead. The infrastructure decisions made today will impact generations to come.

Join us in central Manchester for this panel event to hear from academic experts who contributed to Policy@Manchester’s recent, highly commended report "On Infrastructure" as they discuss how we can best meet our infrastructure needs, including the impacts of climate change on our essential supply chains, the transition towards sustainable urban development, and the action needed to bridge the digital divide.

Registration will open at 09.30. The panel and Q&A will take place from 10.00 – 11.00 and be followed by the opportunity for networking and refreshments.
