Regional Context
The North West and Yorkshire are at the heart of the UK’s housing and regeneration ambitions. Greater Manchester is driving growth through its Places for Everyone plan and large-scale regeneration, while Yorkshire is accelerating delivery through city-region strategies and housing delivery partnerships.
From transforming brownfield sites to building new sustainable neighbourhoods, both regions are combining strategic planning with investment in infrastructure and innovation. Local authorities across the North West and Yorkshire are embracing data-driven approaches and digital planning to unlock land supply, streamline development, and strengthen collaboration with developers and investors. As housing demand continues to rise, these regions are well placed to demonstrate how regional coordination and technology can accelerate delivery and create more connected, affordable, and sustainable places to live.
This event will explore how digital tools and cross-sector partnerships are helping councils and industry deliver housing at scale and support long-term regional prosperity.
