GM GREEN SUMMIT PRE-WORKSHOP

Building a Zero Carbon Greater Manchester

Greater Manchester has a unique opportunity – to lead the way towards a sustainable zero-carbon future, in its buildings and built environment. The city-region is already on track for its 2020 target, but the harder steps are still to come. This calls for new models for design and construction, finance and business, science and technology, social innovation  and joined up governance. How to put them all together?

This workshop is a preparation for the GM Green Summit on March 21st  – https://www.greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk/info/20005/green_city_region/117/green_summit/1

We aim to produce a ‘route-map’ in stages for the short, medium and longer term, which is practical and credible and ready to roll.

The workshop builds on previous and ongoing work, featured on the following pages:

– Mini-Lab – (2016-2018) – an innovative partnership between the University of Manchester and the Greater Manchester Low Carbon Hub (funding from ESRC-IAA). This follows on 4 collaborations in progress: Future of Cities: Eco-Cities / RESIN: Triangulum: and Living Labs. It is building and testing a prototype for a ‘collective urban intelligence’.

– ‘GM2040’ Future of Cities project (2014-16) – this is a futures project from the start of the Devo Manc program.  It provides a public resource for strategic thinking, i.e. 4 alternative scenarios for the city-region in the 25 years ahead.
