High streets must evolve – look at the data

Our latest in-house research paper created an original index to look at high street regeneration and to ask tough questions about which areas can be saved or will need to evolve.

The report – led by our senior team – explores the future of high streets and town centres in the UK and how by moving away from a physical retail model we too, can build back our high streets as meeting and market places fit for the next century of growth and development.

The paper is a deep dive into the problems facing the modern British high street, produced in collaboration with the policy and research team at Blackstock Consulting, now part of Montfort Communications. The report explores the future of high streets and town centres in the UK and asks the simple question: where next for our towns and cities, and how can we move beyond the retail model?

The paper was sponsored by Shakespeare Martineau and Marrons, providing top-level insights from learned experience to explore how our urban spaces can be revitalised and renewed.
