Over the past 18 months we have been Rethinking Regeneration, drawing on our expertise across the UK and exploring where regeneration has been delivered most successfully whilst helping the public and private sector execute it more effectively.
We have hosted roundtables with industry leaders and experts across the UK, tapping into expertise in London, Manchester, Birmingham and the South West as well as hearing from the next generation of real estate leaders who will be delivering these projects in the future.
Manchester has benefitted from consistent political leadership, with long serving incumbents in the local authority looking to facilitate investment and development and grow a resilient city. The data shows that this has supported Manchester as a whole in the long run, bouncing back quicker than the rest of the UK after periods of economic distress and outperforming the national average in prosperous periods. This strong local leadership clearly resonated during the roundtable discussion in the city, with the importance of long-term political stability established as a key enabler for regeneration schemes which may take years to come to fruition and many more before they begin to have their real positive impact.
