Placemaking | Manchester Central

As part of the Parks community management programme, place mapping identified occupier demand for additional on-site F&B and outdoor wellbeing space. With limited communal areas available, delivery posed a challenge. 

A Place Audit identified a void plot earmarked for future development, which Activate repurposed through a meanwhile-use proposal. The concept demonstrated how the site could be safely activated seasonally and year-round with a covered solution. 

The proposal was included in the annual marketing plan, alongside indicative CAPEX costs and an outline management plan, to support client decision-making.
