Towns and cities across the UK now have a vital opportunity to make strategic investments for long-term economic growth. For many the message is clear: the move to a low-carbon economy is as vital to future social and economic success as it is to the climate. 

Through the eyes of Glasgow, this audio panel showcases a living breathing example of a region focused on place-based economic prosperity in the transition to a net zero economy. Presenter Megan Wright hosts experts from Glasgow City Council, SP Energy Networks and WSP to look at the regions transition and how this compares to other parts of the UK.

- Guy Jefferson, Chief Operating Officer, SP Energy Networks
- Kit England, Green Economy Manager, Glasgow City Council
- Jim Coleman, Head of Economics, WSP

This podcast is part of WSP's campaign on how the economies of the UK's towns and cities can benefit from the energy transition.
