Chairman’s Letter To Delegates

“Across the North, despite challenges, there is still a lot of economic development, planning and thinking going on. The Government’s policy agenda – especially rebalancing the national economy – should provide opportunities for our region. But it’s partly up to us seize and exploit them. Come and find  out what different people and places are doing on this agenda and contribute to the crucial debate about how we can deliver real, sustainable economic  growth, development and regeneration in the North.”
Professor Michael Parkinson, Director of the European Institute for Urban Affairs, Liverpool John Moores University

Editor’s Letter To Delegates

“The Government’s localism agenda puts the onus on the north’s civic and business leaders to find their own approaches to driving economic growth. Responsibility for most aspects of economic development has been devolved from national and regional bodies to local authorities and business-led local enterprise partnerships, along with certain additional powers and resources. This event identifies the opportunities and challenges that this transfer of  responsibility presents, and explore how growth in the North can be pursued in ways that will maximise benefits to local communities.”
Richard Garlick, Editor, Regeneration & Renewal
