IED CPD Online: ‘Left-behind’ places and solutions for economic growth

20 Nov 2023 - Online via Zoom 2-3.30pm

Important - this webinar will run over 3 separate sessions, each running for 90 minutes on the 20th, 21st and 22nd November 2023.

This CPD module is intended to allow delegates to explore the key characteristics of “left behind” places, with particular reference to rural and coastal settings and their economies and consider the most appropriate strategy they might follow in stimulating rural economic growth. 

The course considers the definition of these economies, the position of different left behind settings across the UK and several case study examples. 

The course is run in a participative manner and is aimed at creating a practical experience with applicability to all economic development practitioners both from the course learning, examples of good and poor practice and the interaction with other delegates.

Topics covered – through the contemporary lens of the impact (in terms of furlough rates, sectoral impacts and new attitudes to enterprise) of the coronavirus pandemic

• Common characteristics of left behind economies and tools for analysis
• Growth theories and their real life application
• Market failure and the role of social enterprise
• Key resources for local growth
• The nirvana of sustainable left behind  places and the trade offs involved

Led by Ivan Annibal, of Rose Regeneration, it will also feature cameos showcasing practical aspects of the above agenda by a number of colleagues working directly in rural economic development
