The levelling up dilemma: who will deliver levelling up?

For nearly two years the Government has promised to level-up the country and increase economic prosperity outside the Greater South East, but big questions still remain about how it plans to do this.

Join us to explore these questions in more detail, unpick the inherent dilemmas within the levelling up agenda and discuss how the Government can turn rhetoric into reality.
