Connecting with the people

摘要

To mark the Local Government Information Unit's (LGiU's) 30th birthday we asked 30 leading thinkers and practitioners to tell us how the council of thirty years time might look different to local government as we know it. The results can be seen on our website and will be published as a collection on 9 December. For our part, we think that as a society we face a series of profound and complex challenges: how to reset local economies; how to care for an ageing population; how to provide young people with the skills they need and decent homes to live in; how to build resilient supportive communities and many more. At LGiU, we believe that these challenges are too complex and too particular to be solved by broad-brush national solutions.
