In the latest episode of AECOM’s Talking Infrastructure podcast, we hear from Michael Gove MP, the former (and soon to be reappointed) Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and Minister for Intergovernmental Relations, on the importance of strong local leadership and taking an integrated approach to deliver levelling up at the scale and pace required.
Gove was speaking at the 2022 Conservative Party Conference during an AECOM-sponsored panel event convened by thinktank Policy Exchange. He was joined by Councillor Abi Brown from Stoke-on-Trent City Council; Ben Derbyshire, former President of the Royal Institute of British Architects; Ike Ijeh, Head of Housing, Architecture and Urban Space at Policy Exchange; and Jonathan Moore, Head of Project, Programme and Cost Management, North of England at AECOM.
