ICC JOINS THE RSA’S UK URBAN FUTURES COMMISSION TO BUILD BETTER FUTURES FOR UK CITIES 

ICC is delighted to announce that we are joining forces with the RSA as part of its UK Urban Futures Commission to create and deliver a national plan to unlock the potential of all UK cities.

As expert practitioners, strategic advisors and implementation partners, we will work as part of the Commission to size the gap between where cities are now and their potential – and create a practical framework to leverage investment, realise potential and deliver better futures.

We bring a decade’s expertise in supporting local councils to understand the full potential of the resources, assets and partnerships they already have, so they can invest in good local growth. Because we know that improved productivity, growth, prosperity and sustainable public services across the country can only come from regionally and locally driven partnerships and governance.

“We work daily with public sector leaders across the UK to find new solutions to enable growth, prosperity and change for local areas – building stronger governance, financing strategies, and capacity for delivery,” said Andrew Travers, Director of ICC’s Agile Investments team. “This is a fantastic opportunity to share our experience, work with new partners and help create national policy.”

Emma Peters, Director in ICC’s Prosperous Inclusive Places team, added: “It’s vital to press forward with the devolution of health, education, skills, employment and business support services, as well as the devolution of tax raising powers and structures. Local and regional leaders need pro-growth incentives and solutions right now and theirs are the voices we need to amplify in campaigning for change.”

At ICC we know how to create the professional security to experiment, create and invest. We bring the reassurance of working with a tenacious team. And we love nothing more than connecting people who are grappling with the same issues and getting the job done.
