Green City Projects: Collaboration with the Manchester City Council

Staff and students are encouraged to contact Teresa Chilton (teresa.chilton@manchester.ac.uk) as soon as possible to express interest in projects, even if they will not be undertaken until the 2nd semester, as these opportunities will soon be offered to other local universities and thus may not be available for very long.
