DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, we examine the scale and nature of the UK’
 s spatial inequalities\, among the worst of any major OECD economy\, how t
 hey have evolved over several decades\, and the immense policy challenge t
 hey present. We then critically examine the main features of the new Level
 ling Up programme\, its theoretical underpinnings\, its aims and its polic
 ies\, and argue that while there is much in this policy programme that is 
 welcome\, ultimately it fails to convince\, and that it will have to be su
 bstantially strengthened in various ways if it is to have any significant 
 and lasting success.\n\nThe seminar draws upon the following publications 
 by the researchers:\n\nLevelling Up Left Behind Places: The Scale and Natu
 re of the Economic and Policy Challenge \, Ron Martin\, Ben Gardiner\, And
 y Pike\, Peter Sunley and Peter Tyler (Routledge)\, 2021.\n\n‘Levelling 
 Up: Reinforcing the Policy Agenda’ (Ron Martin\, Ben Gardiner\, Andy Pik
 e\, Peter Sunley and Peter Tyler)\,  Regional Studies\, Regional Science\,
