Books in the Regional Studies Policy Impact Books series

This Policy Expo finds that place-based policies are essential in contemporary economies, providing solutions to otherwise intractable challenges such as the long-term decline of cities and regions.

This book aims to understand the predicaments of `left behind places¿ and the scale of the policy challenge of `levelling up¿ their economic prosperity. The case is made for a new, mission-oriented policy model to achieve this, which is now a prominent refrain in the political lexicon.
