Field Trip to Manchester and Sheffield - January 2022

A group of postgraduate and undergraduate students from across the five MSc and the three BSc programmes in the School of the Built Environment went on a field trip from 17 - 20 January 2022. They visited Manchester and Sheffield looking at urban developments in the cities and they attended presentations from contractors involved in projects in Salford.
