Kept-Behind and Leapt-Ahead Places

Author: Jacob Miller
The Bennett Institute for Public Policy is delighted to share this paper exploring deindustrialisation, with case studies in the US and UK written by Jacob Miller for his MSc for University College London. Jacob Miller has been working with Diane Coyle and Michael Kenny on the Institute’s research on left-behind places.
The paper makes the case for an industrial strategy with a foundation of universal basic infrastructure to address the challenges associated with ‘kept-behind’ places and the uneven effects and responses to deindustrialisation that created them.
