GENECON has worked on some of the largest economic growth
projects across the country, and this includes appraisal of key
economic infrastructure assets, from:
- examing the economic effects of HS2, including detailed
assessment of alternative station locations in Sheffield
- leading science parks, such as the Daresbury Science and
Innovation Campus,
- ports, such as Sunderland, Teesport, Blyth, Workington and
Barrow,
- regional airports such as Durham Tees Valley, Robin Hood and
Carlisle Airport
- super-fast broadband roll-out in Nottingham
and Cumbria;
- Enterprise Zones in Leeds, Blackpool, Derby and the
Humber.
The GENECON team has also led cutting-edge research to produce a
'Valuation Toolbox' for assessing the economic benefits of Green
Infrastructure (described by some proponents as the 4th critical
infrastructure), as well as leading a number of innovative studies
assessing the contribution of public realm investment in the
economic transformation of cities like Sheffield, Sunderland and
Carlisle.
GENECON can offer advice to local authorities
and Local Enterprise Partnerships to help develop their local
broadband delivery plan setting out how their area will be provided
with superfast broadband access; how the funding will work and the
economic benefits that will be generated.
