| Annotation | msa projects is a graduate teaching group within Manchester School of Architecture, set up to collaborate with Manchester institutions on projects of relevance for the future of the city. In 2007, msa projects began a project with Manchester City Council Joint Health Unit to consider how city spaces and architectural constructions should respond to the city's ageing population, which will be a significant issue for many councils in the future. Engagement with older citizens through workshops and events, discussions with council officers and dissemination by public exhibition and publications were undertaken. This volume focuses with illustrations, on the kinds of cities implied by current UK government policy approaches toward citizenship. The msa students have consulted with amongst others, Dr Thomas Scharf and members of the Keele University research group, New Dynamics of Ageing and with representatives from the Department of Local Government and Communities. The project also conducted comparative research in Berlin working with CET-01 architects, the Technical University of Berlin Urban Planning Department and the German Institute for Gerontology.
