Join us for this in person networking event, to hear insights from the latest PwC Good Growth for Cities report, which looks at how well positioned UK cities are for a recovery and what steps the Government, businesses and local leaders can take together to drive Good Growth for all.

We will do a deep dive on the data for Reading and the surrounding cities.  When measured against the priorities chosen by the public, Reading, Oxford and Swindon have all made the top 10, with Oxford retaining its position at the top of the rankings.

The Annual Good Growth for Cities Index has measured the performance of cities and regions across the UK.  It looks beyond economic indicators and focuses on additional measures of wellbeing, such as access to jobs, income, health, skills and work-life balance.
