Abstract:
As the Region's economic powerhouse, how has Manchester's urban landscape adapted to a changing socio-economic climate? How can landscape change and nature attract investment?
New priorities, bold partnerships, community engagement and empowerment have led to a sea change in how the City's biodiversity resource is managed, perceived and understood. Using a range of exciting and innovative local case studies, the evolution of the world's first industrial City from dark satanic mills to green champion will be explored.
