What does the evidence show is most effective in improving economic, social and other outcomes for Mayoral Combined Authorities in terms of devolved powers, budgets and accountabilities?
Background
This section sets out the key areas where we want to deepen our understanding to drive the levelling up agenda, and to unleash opportunity, prosperity and pride in place across the UK. In addition, we want to understand in more granular detail which interventions best drive local growth (local growth is an area of joint responsibility between BEIS and DLUHC).
