What's on offer?
Using historical maps and collections alongside contemporary data, we will explore questions around poverty, inequality, housing, health and the cost of living across Greater Manchester.
You will be invited to share your own perceptions, respond to questions, explore maps and visualisations, and compare what we think we know about our communities with what historical and contemporary evidence can tell us.
