With the Government’s devolution of power to city authorities and a total of 28 City Deals having been approved so far, this is the ideal opportunity for cities to take control of the unique economic opportunities and challenges they face.
Attend to hear from leading stakeholders and to learn from the experiences of Wave 1 City Deals about how to overcome key obstacles to success, learning how to unlock projects and initiatives that will boost local economiesand deliver a step change in governance arrangements.
