Cities Outlook and its associated research has examined the ongoing impact of Covid-19 on high streets and town centres and what this means for places as they recover and grow from the pandemic.
Covid-19 has had a huge effect on all of our high streets, but some cities and towns are better positioned than others to quickly recover. Cities Outlook 2022 explored where has been hardest hit, why and what this means for places, and for the Government’s levelling up agenda.
It provided policy makers with an insight into the impact of the pandemic on high streets across the UK and offered recommendations on what needs to be done to support their recoveries.

Abi Brown, Leader of Stoke-on-Trent City Council
Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester
Caroline Green, CEO of Oxford City Council
Sebastian Payne, Whitehall Editor at the Financial Times and author of Broken Heartlands: A Journey Through Labour’s Lost England

The event was chaired by Andrew Carter, Chief Executive of Centre for Cities.
Cities Outlook 2022 looks in-depth at the state of UK high streets to get a sense of the short-term impact of the pandemic on Britain's town and city centres and the long-term consequences and implications this has for the Government’s levelling up agenda.
