Making inclusive growth a reality

The Centre for Progressive Policy is a think tank committed to drive productivity and shared prosperity in the UK.

Deep place engagement

Place is at the heart of people’s lives and are central as key to understanding barriers to inclusive growth and opportunities for system change – both locally and regionally as well as on the national level.
