PROCEEDINGS Building Potential: second inquiry session of the LSCC Growth Commission – 11th February

4th April 2016 by Glenn.Athey

Building Potential: this page has been updated with the proceedings and presentations  of discussions made on 11 February at the third Inquiry Event at London Stansted Airport. A video of the event is also available.

At this event we gained an understanding of other local and regional economies have attained success, and what ‘best in class’ looks like for knowledge and ideas- based economies. We also explored what an idea growth scenario looks like for the Corridor, and what some of the conventional and perhaps unconventional solutions could be to deliver growth and sustainable development.

    How astonishing to see that this project is underway. I remember suggesting it to the late Prof Sir Peter Hall when we were cooking up our idea for HS3 (which we both wanted to call HS1.5). Of course it is a classic example of British plans ‘from outside and below’, compensating for the failings or disinterest of the Whitehall machine. You can find out more about our idiosyncratic approach to infrastructure plans in ‘Great British Plans: Who Made Them and How They Worked’ by Ian Wray (Routledge, 2016). And good luck!
