Devolving decision making: 3 - Meeting the regional economic challenge: The importance of cities to regional growth
This document sets out the Government’s initial assessment of the role that cities play in driving both regional and national economic growth. It explores both the current state of economic performance across English cities, and the different challenges cities face in raising this performance and in reducing disparities in outcomes for their residents. As well as highlighting the importance of cities as drivers of economic growth and employment within regions, the document draws attention to the importance of the interaction between different strands of sub-national governance in maximising the economic potential of cities and regions.
