Lessons from Manchester: why tall buildings matter
24th February 2021, 11am - 11:45pm Online event
Starting from SAVE Britain's Heritage's valiant stand against the Footballers' Tower in central Manchester, Professor Michael Hebbert will explore the forces underlying the city's present skyscraper boom and - once the tower-cranes have done their work - the disturbing implications for heritage, liveability and the environment. Professor Hebbert is Chair of Town Planning at the University of Manchester and an Emeritus Professor of UCL's Bartlett School of Planning.
Tickets are complimentary for our Saviours / £5 for Friends / £6 for Members of the Public. To find out more about supporting SAVE and receiving discounts on future events please visit our website.
