Proposals for Greater Manchester & Proposals for London are 5-minute, timed, highly visual presentations that are the culmination of Future of London Leaders courses. It's a format that challenges speakers to escape PowerPoint lock and communicate engagingly with any audience. A signature of Future London Leaders and Leaders Plus, it's also great for use in any context. Marc Watterson, an Arup associate and graduate of GM Leaders Plus 2020, delivered his online – and his call for creating more accessible green space rang very true during repeated lockdowns. Check out his ideas and the lively Q&A that followed on YouTube, or find more info on increasing urban green space and dozens of other key topics - plus access to courses and tools - via the Future of London webpage. This backstage interview is a companion to Marc's Proposal, and offers tips and inspiration for anyone preparing a Proposal of their own. Hope you find it helpful!
