The Northern Powerhouse: a comparative perspective
In the UK the concept of shifting power away from Whitehall as a means to foster growth in outlying urban areas has deep roots, with every generation of modern planners bearing witness to some attempt to untangle urban development's Gordian knot. Sub-national English governance is, traditionally, a messy affair with arrangements that reflect both the varying nature of the country's urban and rural landscape, and the whims and wants of government where decades of relentless reorganisation has left the English cities with a morass of arrangements with which to engage. In developing the UK's city-region agenda there are rich lessons that can be drawn from other international perspectives. In considering the key outcomes we should be aware of the limitations of inferring too heavily from international comparators and of over-generalisation. Nonetheless, as we have seen, the examples from China and France provide illuminating studies of how the UK might avoid several pitfalls, or indeed strengthen its own approaches.
