I’m looking forward to our event this evening at the RIBA Hub in Manchester, when we’ll be officially launching our new book to the city.

Myself and Jonathan Falkingham wrote the book as a reflection on the last 20 years we’ve spent transforming the fortunes of rundown buildings in cities around the country. I’ll be giving a brief talk this evening on that journey and would love for you to come along and hear it.

Joining me is Stephen Hodder, a trustee of the RIBA, who’ll also be giving a few words about architecture in Manchester and beyond.

If you’ve not yet registered but do want to come along to the event, which starts at 6pm, just drop us a line. Directions and details of the RIBA Hub can be found here.
