Right. Have been reading the changes to the NPPF, and it is genuinely game-changing on the green belt, in a way that is ambitious, necessary and potentially v v controversial - but also has very little to do with the 'grey belt'. Quick thread on what's changed. (1/?)

Super post on the how the urban structure of Paris was shaped by its cultural context.

Why does Paris look the way it does?
Well, until the year 1853 it was a diseased and overcrowded Medieval city — then the biggest urban renovation in history was announced.
This is the story of how Paris was transformed into the world's most popular city...

Mid 1800s timing of Napoleon III’s Paris redesign runs in parallel to the Cerdà’s Eixample project that created the Barcelona we know and love. That plan was approved in 1860 and also delivered over several decades.

These include setting up Great British Energy, a new publicly-owned clean power company

Presumption in favour of Devo is massive @JackTShaw . Comments below are salient. Do they mean metro mayors when some areas might argue a coherent economic geography without a big city? Will politically cohesive yet incoherent economic geographies be supported by the presumption?

The Ministry for Housing, Communities & Local Government wrote to local authorities yesterday.
It will (a) establish a new Devolution Framework that "moves away from a deal-based approach" and (b) enshrine a presumption towards devolution:

Perhaps there is now much more trust in the local systems to come up with great answers, if the Government are now offering an adult conversation, rather than the infantilisation of the past. That's modern government.
Leadership matters here; local and national levels.

Hurrah for a new wave of devolution. I'm excited to part of this change.

A very exciting moment for the country (at least for policy makers, local public servants and community leaders).
‘Place’, however you define it, is where you can join up policies, investments and actions. (Except Whitehall, which is a place… but not in this context!!!🤔)

Today I’ve written to local leaders in devolution deserts to kickstart change.
Let’s work together to boost growth and opportunity in every part of the country.

Then I think a good devo-driven strategy includes a hard look at:
1. Vision
2. Leadership & Governance
3. Capacity
4. Jobs to be done
5. New ways of working.
(All forged in the culture of a place, shaped by open learning from elsewhere)

“The future is out there. It’s just unevenly distributed.” How will this round of #Devo change that??

A very important moment and message for locally-led economic recovery.

Those with skin in the game know what's best for their communities.
Today I welcomed metro mayors into Downing Street.
It is time to reset relationships and deliver growth across the whole country so that everyone is better off.
