Making inclusive growth a reality

Our approach

We believe that a new approach to growth is needed, harnessing the best of central and local government to shape the national economic environment and build on the assets and opportunities of place.

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.
