Lyons Inquiry into Local Government
Place-shaping: a shared ambition for the future of local government
Economic Prosperity: the Local Contribution
This major national conference from the Lyons Inquiry looked at the emerging role for local authorities and other agencies in promoting economic growth. It addressed why the 'local' matters in the context of globalisation and international competition.
The event heard from the most senior figures from across central, regional and local government as well as the private sector and international perspectives. In addition, delegates had the opportunity to contribute to government thinking and feed into the Lyons Inquiry into local government.
