New paper with @AdamPeacockGeog on the perceived de-privileging of the in-between spaces of city-regionalism in the UK and local responses. This includes the intricate 'crafting' of scales of working to secure investment and how these change over time: https://t.co/iJg2Mh20MO
Tuesday evening run from Bala up the Hirnant Valley towards Lake Vyrnwy (about 9.5 miles from Bala Lake to Lake Vyrnwy). Different countryside; poorer housing and Airbnb refurb alongside each other highlighting individualised nature of rural deprivation
Out today - culmination of over 12 months research with @DrDBeel focused on potential of Enterprise Zones and Investment Zones to meet the needs of rural areas - report via link below:
Recommendations to modify initiatives such as Enterprise Zones & Investment Zones to better unlock the economic potential of #rural businesses have emerged from research we commissioned.

Another run from Bala this evening. This time from Bala Lake over the top to Tryweryn via Llidiardau. This is remote rural territory but interesting to see two rural primary schools still open
Spending quite a bit of time around Bala in North Wales so taking the opportunity to explore rural Wales at its finest. Tonight: the bridge over the River Dee at Llandderfel, 4 miles from Bala.
