Beyond Levelling Up: restitching neighbourhoods and restoring British prosperity

Low growth, stark regional inequality, and frustrated pride in place are perennial problems of our time. Years of top-down regeneration funding have only been fitfully effective.

Is there a new model in which local government restitches neighbourhoods, enables growth, and acts as stewards not bureaucrats? Join us to discuss how to plot the path to local prosperity.
