The paper then presents some of the main elements included in the proposals for reforming cohesion policy.

The House of Commons Public Accounts Committee has published a report on its inquiry into the Regional Growth Fund. The Government established the Regional Growth Fund in June 2010 to support projects with the potential to deliver economic growth and additional, sustainable private-sector jobs, particularly in areas that rely more on the public sector for employment. £1.4 billion was allocated for competing projects and programmes in two bidding rounds during 2011.

Regions and cities are increasingly interdependent; economically, socially and environmentally. Patterns of interactions between regions are experiencing rapid changes as a result of dramatic shifts in production and consumption patterns, advances in communication technologies and the development of transport infrastructure. These changes pose many challenges for the analysis and management of regions. At the same time, regions are becoming increasingly fragmented in many ways. Classic forms of government based on clear-cut arrangements between administrative levels, policy sectors and the public and private domain are no longer sufficient. The result is a complex pattern of overlapping governance and fuzzy boundaries, not just in a territorial sense but also in terms of the role of both public and private actors. The 2012 RSA conference provided a timely opportunity for participants to come together and reflect on the various strengths, weaknesses, challenges and opportunities of networked cities and regions within these different contexts of fragmentation. Papers presented at the conference are available online.

In this interim report, the Northern Economic Futures Commission (NEFC) makes the case for a much clearer focus on the North in economic policymaking. It argues that the longstanding structural challenges facing the North of England are entrenched by systemic factors that inhibit its long-term growth potential, and contends that it is not in the long-term interests of the UK as a whole for this lack of focus to persist.

As part of the European Metropolitan network Institute’s Knowledge and Research Agenda on Polycentric metropolitan areas, EMI has published a new case study on the polycentric development in the region of Linköping-Norrköping in Sweden. Both cities were selected for an EMI case study, because the collaboration between the cities Linköping-Norrköping is exemplary for the processes at play when relatively equally sized cities are becoming increasingly integrated. This article gives you a preview of several challenges the EMI research team analysed.
