Every place has its unique DNA, and what makes places truly great is long-term thinking, strong leadership and an authenticity that gives them purpose.
Across the UK, the last few years have seen some impressive examples of public-private partnerships as local authorities recognise the need for a collaborative approach to kick-start development and regeneration. But just how, in a post-Brexit, post-Covid world should these partnerships adapt and evolve to meet changing needs?
Shoosmiths collaborated with Insider on a series of virtual roundtables across our regions to discuss how both sides – public and private – are managing these challenging projects, what best practice is and how obstacles can be overcome to smooth the way.
