"In previous eras we have been encouraged to understand ‘the economy’ and ‘the environment’ as discrete physical and conceptual spheres, the deep symbiosis between the two is now impossible to ignore"

NEW REPORT! The Enabling State: Where are we now? Looks at progress in seven key policy areas that capture the shift from the traditional Welfare State to an #EnablingState https://t.co/ZU8DbVYGh7
"The media needs to stop using images of people in deckchairs to report heat waves. We should be using pictures of pensioners on stretchers or dead frogs in dry ponds."
We have three great guests to talk about the #heatwave if any bookers or producers are looking #journorequest
Tomorrow we'll be publishing our policy review on the Enabling State - five years on from our seminal work on the subject. Where are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland now on their journey from #welfarestate to #enablingstate https://t.co/Bqb1GCbbXL
We want to 'inject some sense of hope for change into a debate which is often defined by what can’t be achieved rather than what can'.
@HughEllisTCPA on how @CarnegieUKTrust & @theTCPA are creating a 'network of hope' for planning in local communities.

"In shattering the perceived rigidity of the present, utopianism paves the way for change. Perfect worlds may not be realisable or even desirable, but that doesn’t mean we should shy away from imagining and striving for a better future." https://t.co/U9eAkeZ9Yw
So excited to be working on this over the next few months with @KWheelArt and the whole team at the @TheStovies - we'll be looking at culture, regeneration, town centres, inclusive growth and more! #FlourishingTowns
'How do we connect up the culturally-led work that is happening in communities across D & G and build our region into a powerhouse of enterprise and opportunity?'
