City pitches: Government Property Agency, Manchester, Scottish Cities

For UK cities to be engines of growth, opportunity, and prosperity there can be no more business as usual. That’s why at the MIPIM conference in Cannes last week, EG gave some of the UK’s core cities a platform to showcase why their city is the place to invest, and what the built environment is doing to help transform those cities.

In this live recording that took place in the EG Pavilion, EG’s news editor Pui-Guan Man spoke to leaders from the Government Property Association, the National Office Agency, and Shoosmiths, who outline their vision for their city or region’s future and the ways in which they see public and private sectors coming together to shape that.

We hear from:

• Steven Boyd, chief executive, Government Property Agency
• Michael Hawkins, director - head of national office agency and development UK regions, Colliers
• Barry McKeown, partner & head of Glasgow office, Shoosmiths
