OakNorth x Adam Smith Institute breakfast event
Unlocking growth: the next chapter in urban regeneration
Date and time: Wednesday, 9 July 8:30am-10am
Venue: OakNorth, 57 Broadwick Street, London W1F 9QS
Join us for an exclusive discussion with Chris Curtis MP and the Adam Smith Institute exploring how we can increase the supply of new housing in Britain, including the role that a new generation of Urban Development Corporations (UDCs) could play in solving the UK’s housing crisis.
This discussion will draw on the Adam Smith Institute’s new report Dwharfing the City, which proposes a bold vision for UDCs to catalyse private-sector-led growth in locations such as the Thames Gateway, Cambridge, Liverpool, Oxford, and Bristol.
Guest speaker: Chris Curtis MP
Labour Member of Parliament for Milton Keynes North and Co-Chair of the Labour Growth Group
Chris will share Labour’s vision for enabling strategic housing delivery, accelerating urban renewal, and ensuring planning reform drives productivity and community investment.
