Following a light and song procession residents were led back to market stalls where the various projects “sold” their ideas and voting took place. ”[more case studies] VideoRichard Edwards speaking about PB at NESTA conference“ a clip from a Q&A session at a NESTA conference where Richard Edwards from the Manton PB project was talking about it. ”[more videos]
