Urban Futures: Priorities for the new Government - The future of devolution

Metro mayors now cover 50 per cent of the UK’s population and lead on policy areas such as transport and housing. Much progress has been made but there is considerable demand from the existing mayors for more powers and flexibility. The new government is committed to filling in the missing half of the country. This event will examine the merits of the government’s commitment to devolution, and the extent to which both widening and deepening devolution is deliverable.
