On Wednesday 20th March the Manchester branch of fbe will host a breakfast event focusing on people and organisations that are doing things differently within the built environment.
We have brought together four excellent speakers who are working on innovative ideas within the built environment sector including academic research into future cities, co-living, and an award-winning reinvention of the traditional terraced house.

Maria is the UK Cohousing Network’s Senior Cohousing Ambassador and an advocate for OWCH (Older Women’s CoHousing) the UK’s first and only Senior Cohousing Community to date.
