Submission summary: ‘Ambitions for the North’ contains a set of shared ambitions which can promote co-operation across the North and use improved strategic planning to deliver a more sustainable and inclusive approach to growth.
The framework is designed to succinctly address a myriad of complex and overlapping topics, including transport/infrastructure, climate change, housing and economic growth, changes in economic geography, increasing isolation/polarisation, and complex governance arrangements across the North.
