How can the UK’s second tier cities, underperforming and high-potential city regions that have industries affected by the net zero transition or are particularly exposed to labour market disruption due to AI be best supported in the transition?
Background
The Industrial Strategy is deliberately place-based, recognising that stronger regional growth is critical for the competitiveness of the IS-8 and the resilience of the national economy. The interventions of the Industrial Strategy aim to support growth in the city regions and clusters with the highest potential to support the IS-8 across the UK.
