UK2070 - Delivering a Connectivity Revolution with Prof. Vincent Goodstadt, Chair, Steering Group, UK2070 Commission

The UK2070 Commission is an independent inquiry into city and regional inequalities in the UK. The Commission has been set up to conduct a review of the policy and spatial issues related to the UK’s long-term city and regional development.

The final report was published 27 February 2020, containing the recommendation of a 10 point programme. In this, was the point of investing in a new connectivity revolution, transforming the connections between cities, within cities and beyond cities to poorly connected towns. Infrastructure investment needs to increase to at least 3% of GDP per annum.

We will be joined by Professor Vincent Goodstadt, Chair of the steering group who worked on the report, as he takes us through UK2070 and examines the connectivity revolution needed to reduce regional inequality in the UK.
