Progressive and alternative economic development
Tuesday 5th July 2016, central Manchester
10am until 4pm
Our local places face many economic, social and environmental challenges. In this, economic development should not confine itself to narrow ideas about economic growth alone, as has been a dominant narrative to England’s economic development. Growth is important but we can, and should, also think about developing local economies and places in different ways. This event will introduce participants to new emerging approaches and case studies in how to undertake progressive local economic development. Approaches which consider social growth, community wealth building and place resilience.
