Devolution in practice: Powers, pipelines, place
From ambition to delivery
Devolution is moving into a delivery phase. New powers, funding and responsibilities are shifting closer to England’s regions, and strategic authorities are now focused on turning ambition into growth, investment and tangible outcomes.
But powers alone are not enough. Places need the capability, finance and partnerships to make devolution work on the ground.
The LGC Devolution & Growth Summit brings together the senior decision‑makers and practitioners shaping this next phase: mayors and strategic authority leaders, council chief executives, and finance, economic growth and delivery directors, alongside the investors, developers and delivery partners who make growth happen.
The focus is practical: how do regions turn new powers and funding into credible growth strategies, investable projects and better outcomes?
The summit explores what it takes to deliver: building organisational capacity, making fiscal devolution work in practice, clarifying responsibilities and relationships, and ensuring non‑mayoral and foundation areas are not left behind — so that growth plans become fundable, investable projects.
The Devolution & Growth Summit – where the people delivering growth across England’s regions meet.
