It will explore a number of emerging policy themes about their prospective future – from the national perspective to the specific challenges faced by practitioners.

Advocates of particular options will explain the ingredients that can deliver success.

There will also be international case studies from USA, Italy and Ireland about how they have created new roles for their towns and cities.
