Director Podcast Can devolution drive growth?
Director Podcast is back after the summer break, and devolution is once again at the top of the policy agenda. Questions are growing about whether greater local powers can help unlock economic growth across the UK.
In this episode, host Ben Walker is joined by IoD Chief Economist, Anna Leach and Professor Philip McCann, Sir Terry Leahy Chair in Urban and Regional Economics at Alliance Manchester Business School, to explore the economic case for devolution.
Together, they discuss whether greater powers for city-regions have delivered tangible results, what Andy Burnham’s devolution agenda could mean for growth and investment, and how policymakers can balance local autonomy with national priorities.
