The Politics of Place Event

‘Labour has lost the arguments about levelling up and devolution, even though the Conservatives’ current policy agenda is weak, misguided and ineffective’ argues John Tomaney. ‘Red Wall’ constituencies have thrust the politics of place to the centre of England’s politics, with Labour seeking to recover lost ground and the Conservatives aiming to consolidate their gains. But does either party really understanding the places that have not shared in the wealth that has accumulated disproportionately among some groups in the centre of cities? What sort of political and economic response would meet the aspirations of their people?

Speakers include: 

John Tomaney, Professor of Urban and Regional Planning in the Bartlett School of Planning, University College London. 

Baroness Judith Blake, former Leader, Leeds City Council

Will Jennings, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at the University of Southampton.
