Beginning at Chapman Taylor’s Manchester studio in Castlefield, the 90-minute walk will visit key city centre locations, where Catalina will share AI-generated visual experiments from her #ReimaginePlaces series. These thought-provoking visuals will serve as conversation starters to explore how urban design can better support human-centred, connected, and responsive environments.

The tour will invite participants to reflect on how we experience the city and how planning might evolve to respond more sensitively to the unique character and potential of place.
