Now in its fifth year, Cities Outlook 2012 is the authoritative economic index of the 64 largest cities and towns in the UK. It sets out how different cities are set to fare through the challenging economic circumstances of the year ahead. The report identifies the cities where glimmers of economic growth are likely to be evident, and those that are vulnerable to further economic stagnation. Cities Outlook 2012 focuses in particular on the nature of unemployment in different cities, distinguishing between those cities that have been hit hard by the impact of the recession, and those that are struggling with the challenges of long term and youth unemployment. The different composition of unemployment in different cities means that a nuanced, flexible and place-based policy approach is needed.

The aim of the Local Sustainability 2012 study is to document the variety of local processes for sustainability that have emerged globally since the 1992 Earth Summit. Local initiatives, many of them inspired by Local Agenda 21, have made a lasting mark not only on local but also on national and international governance systems, changing profoundly the way we think about sustainable development and pushing the boundaries of what is achievable. The Local Sustainability 2012 study consists of two complementary reports: Taking Stock and Moving Forward. Global Review and Showcasing Progress. Case Studies.
