Cities and regions

Summary

Our eight regional Core Cities - Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield - have undergone renaissance in recent times. A new confidence is evident in the growth of these cities, where the skylines are now dominated by cranes and internationally acclaimed new buildings.

The Core Cities are leading the way in creating sustainable communities, improving the quality of life of their citizens and reviving local economies. They play a crucial role in regional economies - strong cities mean strong regions and vice versa. This revival has been underpinned by an unprecedented period of economic stability thanks to sound national policies. Low inflation, low interest rates, record levels of public and private investment, and rising levels of employment have provided the opportunity for prosperity and growth - and a better quality of life in every region.
