The North East of England which includes
the city regions of Tees Valley and Tyne & Wear is a
growing region with its traditionally strong manufacturing
base now supported by emerging high-technology and knowledge-based
businesses. Innovation is key, with major programmes to
develop the Core Region's knowledge economy.
The North East has undergone tremendous changes with this
renaissance looking set to continue, supported by substantial
private investment. Property development, regeneration and
strong transport links are crucial to this.
This one

and development of the North East and the role of One NorthEast
in delivering regeneration. It examines the role of property
developers, planners and regeneration organisations in delivering
change and the crucial role of transport connections in
supporting this. The day concludes with a discussion on
how further investment can be attracted in to the North
East.
