This report from UK think tank City-REDI explores the utilisation of funding.

There is considerable interest in how funding is allocated to local stakeholders to address spatial inequalities and in the amount of funding that is available.

However, funding comes with rules on how, when, where and what it can be spent.

The focus of this review by Professor Anne Green, University of Birmingham, is on the factors influencing how funding is/ can be used to address local priorities that will address spatial inequalities and associated challenges and opportunities.
