Today’s edition of Making Manchester was broadcast by ALL FM 96.9 as scheduled, and an extended cut of the programme is now on Mixcloud.

Moving Manchester: Planes, trams and smart motorways tells the stories of Manchester’s biggest current transport infrastructure projects: Manchester Airport’s expansion (based on an interview with MAG’s Director of Planning John Twigg), Manchester Smart Motorways (based on an interview with MSM’s Project Director Dave Emery) and Metrolink’s expansion (based on interviews with Cllr Andrew Fender of Manchester City Council and Peter Cushing, Transport for Greater Manchester’s Metrolink Director).

Next week’s Making Manchester will be the first of a two-part programme called Theatres of Dreams: The civil engineering behind a great sporting city.

      Thanks very much for getting in touch. Sadly the series finished some time ago, and I had to leave a few areas untouched. Good idea, though.

      Incidentally I’ve just come across this on the ICE website: 7 Incredible Arts And Culture Venues Made Possible By Civil Engineers  | Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). None of them are in Manchester but they’re all pretty groovy buildings!
