Insight for Impact is SQW’s podcast. As a business, we believe that good public policy shapes a better society – and it must therefore be guided by high quality research, analysis and insight. This principle has shaped our work since SQW was formed in the early 1980s, and we have generated a huge bank of experience and insight in applying it. Our podcast series is aimed at anyone with an interest in good public policy (particularly at national and local levels in the UK). It addresses highly topical economic and social issues ranging from innovation and local economic development through to skills, education, health and social care. Drawing on high quality evidence and analysis, it seeks to inform and stimulate the surrounding debates, and it aims, literally, to provide insight for impact.

Exploring the New Towns Taskforce report with Sir Michael Lyons: Implications for economic strategy, appraisal and evaluation
The New Towns Taskforce was asked by the UK Government to identify locations and delivery models for a new generation of New Towns to stimulate economic growth and address housing shortages in England. The Taskforce’s final report has recently been published. What are the implications for economic strategy, appraisal and evaluation?
This is the focus of our latest podcast episode, where we are delighted to be joined by the Chair of the New Towns Taskforce, Sir Michael Lyons.
Sir Michael joins Christine Doel, SQW expert on economic and spatial development at local, sub-national and national scales, and podcast host Joe Duggett, to explore:
The role of New Towns in supporting economic growth
How New Towns can build effective communities
Alignment with broader policy agendas
The role of Development Corporations in delivering large-scale communities
How the progress and success of the New Towns initiative might be measured in the short-term and long-term.
