The research findings from the Regeneration Momentum research programme, supported by the Northern Way, makes a compelling case for change in the way regeneration is delivered in the future.

The portfolio of research, undertaken by a wide range of organisations from the private, public, voluntary and university sectors, calls for action and new policy measures in a number of important regeneration areas to ensure future economic regeneration and growth.  The eight research reports represent the independent views of the researchers, rather than of the Northern Way itself or its partners.   The reports commissioned by the Northern Way include:

• 'Learning Lessons from Past Recessions' by The Work Foundation
• 'Making the Most of 'Anchor Institutions'' by The Work Foundation
• 'Co-ordinating Regeneration: Improving Effectiveness in Local Delivery' by De Montfort University
• 'Third Sector Partnerships in Heritage-led Regeneration' by The North of England Civic Trust And Heritage Works
