Part of the research team for the project 'Manufacturing renaissance in industrial regions? Investigating the potential of advanced manufacturing for sectoral and spatial rebalancing' (funded by the ESRC). This project examines the geographies of advanced manufacturing industries in the UK and how they have changed in recent years, in order to understand whether supportive local ecosystems and clusters continue to exist and if so how they can be best promoted and supported. The particular focus is on Traditional Industrial Regions across the UK, so as to inform policies aiming to rebalance the economy sectorally and spatially.

This project aims (1) to examine and explain the economic growth paths of British cities in terms of how far and in what ways actors within them have been able to re-orientate and transform the economic base over time, and (2) to understand the scope for policy intervention to enable cities successfully to adapt to structural change in a world of increasingly devolved decision making and perhaps new forms of city-region governance.

Have undertaken a comparative case study of two city-regions historically characterised by steel and heavy industry: South Saarland (Saarbrücken metropolitan area) in Germany and Teesside (Middlesbrough metropolitan area) in the United Kingdom. These two mid-size city-regions both experienced a crisis in their economies in the 1970s and 1980s. South Saarland has been able to adapt successfully, whereas Teesside continues to struggle. My main findings are that this is to a considerable extent because of (1) different priorities and consistency in the policies implemented, (2) the more robust governance arrangements present in South Saarland compared to Teesside, and (3) the federal government structure and more cooperative form of capitalism in Germany, which appears to have been more conducive for long-term resilience than the centralist structure and more liberal model in the United Kingdom.
