For UK cities to be engines of growth, opportunity, and prosperity, there can be no more business as usual. That is why at the MIPIM conference in Cannes last week, EG gave some of the UK’s core cities a platform to showcase why their city is the place to invest and what the built environment is doing to help transform them. 

In this live recording that took place in the EG Pavilion, deputy editor Tim Burke spoke to leaders from Cardiff, Derby, Central South, West Midlands and Newcastle, who outlined their vision for their city or region’s future and the ways in which they see public and private sectors coming together to shape that.  

Hear from: 

• Huw Thomas, leader, Cardiff Council
• Paul Simpson, chief executive, Derby City Council
• Gavin Hall, lead of office and head of department, central south planning, Savills
• Andy Street, mayor, West Midlands
• Pam Smith, chief executive, Newcastle City Council

Listen to the pitches, recorded live at MIPIM on Tuesday 14 March, to learn more.
