A panel discussion, followed by a Q& A and networking to explore how Leeds can deliver its vision to be both net zero carbon and the best city in the UK by 2030. 

With significant regeneration plans in the pipeline, how can we encourage and secure the right kind of sustainable development? What policy and mechanisms are required to build the business case for investment that unlocks wider social value across the city?
