Univer-city
Univer-city is a project designed to synthesise the experiences of building the Greater Manchester Local Interaction Platform (GMLIP) as a case study in how to develop work with different communities of knowledge and practice.
It provides a space for researchers and practitioners to reflect on the experiences of interactions at the ‘messy interface’ of university-city interactions and the implications for critically-engaged urban research practice.
‘Univer-city’ reflects on the relationship between institutions, academics and urban transformations and the value and process of the GMLIP in:
- Raising the visibility of alternative forms of sustainable urbanism
- Giving voice to those alternatives
- Contributing to the articulation of different values for city regional futures.
