Delivering Good Growth
Good growth can only be delivered through strong local leadership, practical action and genuine partnership working.
Â
To make sure policy and practice reflect what works in real places, the iED has launched the first draft of our 2026 Delivering Good Growth report, as part of a wider piece of work to help shape a national conversation about what growth should deliver for people and places.
Â
Our starting point is simple: growth should not be judged by economic output alone. It should also be judged by whether it improves lives, widens opportunity, strengthens communities and supports long-term environmental progress.
Â
This is not a final version of the report. Instead, it is the starting point of a bigger piece of work that we would value your input towards. It already includes several member case studies, but further real-world examples and evidence from across the profession will make it even stronger. As part of this, we are running a series of online discussion groups focusing on the different report chapters.
