- Update on new government policies post election;
- Practical ideas about driving economic growth over the next decade, learning from UK and international cities;

- Detailed insights into growing the low carbon economy, ‘reinvented cities’ - cities transforming their economies post recession - and working with ‘anchor institutions’ such as universities to respond to recovery.
