Tackling the urban crisis
Spoke at an international policy conference on ‘urban crisis’, organised by De Montfort University at Leicester City Football Club this evening.
Only a group of academics would want to have a talk on public policy challenges for their after dinner entertainment. Despite my trepidation at delivering a presentation at 8.30pm, they appeared to lap it up and it ended up quite a lively debate.
It was again a chance to promote APSE's Ensuring Council model and there appeared to be significant interest in whether this model could be exported to other corners of the globe. It would appear that many of the public policy challenges we face in the UK are shared worldwide.
