Ride the Wave Balancing investment risk and opportunity to guide urban renewal
In her 29 January speech outlining the Government’s ‘Plan for Growth’, chancellor Rachel Reeves argued our cities will require focus on the two key areas of infrastructure and investment if they are to realise their potential and promise, with central government bringing in a raft of institutional and policy reforms to help support the financing of local projects. This new wave of investment will require our place leaders to understand how to properly and professionally manage investment risks or imperil the urban growth agenda. Ride the Wave examines the framework for local investment aimed at driving urban renewal and economic growth in the United Kingdom. The analysis centres on how local authorities can navigate investment risks and opportunities within a changing policy landscape characterized by a new emphasis on city-regions, empowered mayoral authorities, and a reliance on private finance.
