Panel: Integrated settlements: Building connected systems for long-term growth
This session will bring together combined authorities to explore how integrated settlements can transform the way places plan and deliver housing, health skills, transport and local economic opportunity. Panellists will discuss what it takes to redesign whole systems, from the frameworks and investment approaches that support joined-up delivery, to the cross-agency collaboration needed to achieve better outcomes for residents. Drawing on learning from early Northern pilots, the panel will examine how coordinated, multi-system working can accelerate regeneration and help communities thrive.
