April 29, 2025 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
University of Staffordshire, Stoke on Trent
Join the first Cities Forum by Key Cities to discuss how public and private sectors might more effectively partner for growth.

As the voice of urban UK, Key Cities is bringing together city leaders, officers, public bodies, investors, developers, and consultants to explore new ways of partnering to deliver more homes, meet net zero targets, and revive the UK economy.

In 2024, Key Cities released a manifesto for Government, in response to the most pressing challenges facing local government in the UK. Progress has been made, but much more is needed. This year’s theme for the Forum, ‘Partnering for Growth,’ underscores the critical role of public-private collaboration in the Government’s growth agenda.

Don’t miss the chance to:

  • Hear from a diverse range of speakers, including representatives from The Crown Estate, Urban Splash, and various member cities and public organizations such as Salford City Council and 3Ci.
  • Participate in meaningful discussion about the issues facing local and national government and forge new relationships.
