It was great to speak at the @CPCatapult 2026 #ConnectedPlaces Summit yesterday with South Yorkshire Mayor @olivercoppard to set out what we have achieved in @NewhamLondon and how we’ve intentionally driven inclusive growth 🚀 ✅ We’re proving that place-based strategies, linking high-growth sectors like green tech & digital to local skill, are the key to unlocking the UK’s economic potential. What does that mean for London and other regions in the UK? ➡️ Newham proves that London can help close the national economic gap by acting as an engine that shares success through supply chains, knowledge spillovers, and investment partnerships.  ➡️ Our success is most valuable when it is connected outward, rather than operating as a standalone economy.  ➡️ Move from ‘projects’ to ‘outcomes’. Every infrastructure investment must clearly link to jobs, productivity, and sustainable growth. ➡️ To keep talent and capital in the UK, we need dense innovation ecosystems where housing, transit, and workspace co-exist. ➡️ We must move past ‘London vs. the rest of the UK’ thinking. We must use London as a national engine, sharing success through innovation spillovers and regional partnerships. ➡️ The goal? A 10-20 year vision that ends "stop-start" funding and puts inclusive growth at the heart of our industrial strategy. Let’s build a future where infrastructure isn't just about transit: it's about opportunity for all. We Are Newham👌🏽✨ @GregClarkCities #EconomicGrowth #InclusiveGrowth #Innovation
