@ndrlee @MSensier Cheers for coming to sunny Glasgow for the inclusive growth chat, @ndrlee and @MSensier. It was an interesting and fun day. @UofGUrbStudies, @UofGPolicy

[David Waite @DavidWglasgow]

Thank you to @ndrlee and @MSensier for coming to Glasgow today to give two lively contributions on inclusive growth. The direction of travel offered by IG holds wide appeal, but 'how to' guides remain embryonic. Thanks to @McEwen_Nicola, @stuartgmcintyre and @ProfGraemeRoy.

Thank you to @PolicyAuckland for hosting the discussion note looking at the prospect of City Deals in NZ: https://t.co/3REQxO136a. With national political change ahead, it will now be interesting to watch if a deal-based model gains traction - as per calls in #AucklandManifesto

[Anne E Green @Anne_E_Green]

See some points from discussion at our @RoyalSocEd funded workshop in Birmingham with #WestMidlands stakeholders on Alternative Approaches to Local Economic Development - with thanks to @DavidWglasgow Rich Crisp @CRESR_SHU and @CityREDI colleagues plus all participants

[David Waite @DavidWglasgow]

@GrahamThom1 Thanks, Graham - and important point well made.

[David Waite @DavidWglasgow]

The Auckland Mayor’s recent manifesto (“Manifesto for Auckland”) seeks new arrangements with central government and calls for greater autonomy. Here the possibility of City Deals has been raised. In the note, we reflect on the evolution of deals in the UK and Australia.
