A brighter future for our towns and cities

In 2015, IED Board member and ex-chair, Keith Burge authored a report: ‘A brighter future for our towns and cities’. Initiated by the The Institute of Economic Development (IED), this unique collaboration engaged with The Association of Town and City Management (ATCM), Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Royal Town Planning Institute.

The report provided 16 recommendations: concise, practical steps that local authorities, Local Enterprise Partnerships and government can take to boost performance, covering place-making, skills retention, partnership-building, devolution and strategic infrastructure investment.
