Northern Growth: Next Generation Communities

The city-regions of the North need a new initiative to support economic growth by explicitly addressing housing quality and other important quality of life factors.

One of the great triumphs of the Northern Way initiative has been its ability to challenge conventional thinking about pan-regional economic development in the North of England. The Northern Way’s growth plan has rightly been posing some fundamental questions about how to identify and deliver the necessary supporting infrastructure to generate an additional £30 billion of output for the UK. The ongoing discussion about the most effective type of transport investments post-Eddington is but one of these debates.
