The New Statesman’s annual Regional Development Conference was a day of fascinating insights and discussions centred around the most pressing questions for the future of the levelling up strategy and local growth. We met on Thursday 12th May 2022 in Birmingham (Hilton Birmingham Metropole, B40 1PP), home of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, to hear insights from leaders in policymaking and industry on what’s next for regional development.
With the establishment of the new Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, the levelling up agenda is truly at the heart of UK policymaking. Through panels, live interviews, speeches and debates, leading parliamentarians, local government representatives and industry figures explored policy areas ranging from social mobility and skills challenges to local government, transport and investment.
