4×4 Manchester is a series of talks held every Wednesday in May. 4 speakers are invited to talk each week for 15 minutes each. The session ends with a lively audience debate.

4×4 Manchester wants to challenge how you think about your discipline be that architecture, art, music, urban design, planning etc etc. This will not be architects talking about their new buildings or an author promoting their new book; 4×4 wants to promote a real debate about the state of our cities, stimulated by interesting, diverse and provocative speakers.
