MP4 is a European partnership project that focuses on innovative approaches for planning and designing, maintaining and using public places.
Sheffield played host to Urban Design Week in October 2010. The event comprised a week of talks about the built environment, and MP4 got together with the University of Sheffield to offer an evening of talks on place-keeping. The speakers represented MP4; University of Sheffield; Sheffield City Management Team and the Ambassadors; and the Riverside Stewardship Company.
