Priorities for developing Scotland’s cities and regions - City Deals, partnerships and economic strategy This seminar will provide an opportunity to discuss priorities for developing Scotland’s cities and regions, and for realising the objectives of stimulating growth, driving innovation and developing skills. With the Scottish Parliament’s Local Government and Communities Committee having launched an enquiry into Scotland’s City Deals, and with each of Scotland’s seven city regions at varying stages of the City Deal process, delegates will examine lessons so far, including examples from both Scotland and elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Areas for discussion include: Designing and delivering City Deals within Scotland: leadership, partnership working and lessons from outside Scotland; The potential for developing key industries, including life sciences, energy and the creative sector through the City Deal process; Building on City Deals: investment, collaborative working and inclusive growth; and Next steps for Scotland’s cities and regions - including both the UK-wide Industrial strategy and the Scottish Government’s economic strategy For more information and to register for the Conference click here  http://www.scotlandpolicyconferences.co.uk/book/cities-and-regions-SPC-2017
