In designing and building better cities, shouldn’t we involve the most important stakeholder—the people who live in them? Manchester is becoming a city that values the opinions of its citizens to co-design a smarter and better-connected city. From businesses and jobs to better healthcare and transport, the CityVerve project in Manchester aims to engage and empower citizens and eventually create a blueprint for smart cities worldwide.

Starting out as an internationally acclaimed festival that began in Manchester in 1995, FutureEverything has become so much more than a conference about technology over the past 22 years—it's a cultural facilitator at the intersection of art, design, science and digital.
