Developers on climate: “We can’t change policy, but we can not make things worse”

“Liverpool is undergoing unprecedented growth in investment,” Claire Slinger, Assistant Director for Investment and Development at Liverpool City Council tells The Developer. We learn how the council unlocked plans for its stalled 100 acre Festival Gardens site, and hear about their plans to entice more than 80,000 university and college students to stay in the city after graduation. We also talk about "inclusive growth" and how to bring the public along in a rapidly changing city.

Claire Slinger: "Liverpool is a very well-kept secret"
