Our visitors
Over the years the various centres and groups that have come together to form the Manchester Urban Institute have hosted visiting graduate students, post-docs and professors from across a range of disciplines.
Some of these academic visitors have been with us for only a week or two, while others have stayed with us for a few years! Whether a shorter or longer visit, these colleagues have been important in creating the support intellectual environment that has characterized urban studies at the University.
