Published 5 months, 1 week ago
Description
In this episode, Matthew Masters sits down with Joe Fyans, Head of Research at Localis, to discuss Ride the Wave a major new project supported by CIPFA and Core Cities. The report explores how local authorities can balance the government’s push for locally led growth with the need for fiscal responsibility, especially in the context of urban renewal and investment risk.
Joe also shares a preview of two upcoming Localis projects: one on digital integration during local authority mergers, and another exploring the intersection of devolution and digital public services. Together, these initiatives paint a picture of how local government can lead the next wave of reform smart, strategic, and digitally enabled.
