RICS in West Midlands & IPF - Financing Regeneration: The Power of Public-Private Partnerships

Overview

This joint RICS and IPF session will focus on how large-scale urban regeneration can fuel inclusive growth, enhance prosperity and community well-being, and unlock social and financial capital to drive productivity across UK towns and cities. Exploring how innovative public-private investment partnerships can be utilised to supercharge delivery.

We are delighted to welcome speakers highly experienced in the delivery of city-scale urban regeneration and in securing funding for these. They will share their practical insights into how to assemble and blend what is often multiple sources and forms of investment, and so convert ambitious plans into actual development on the ground.

Due to limited places, this event is only open to RICS and IPF members.
