Inclusive Growth Commission

London Borough of Barking and Dagenham

LBBD established an independent Inclusive Growth Commission bringing together ten experts from fields including urban planning, business, heritage and the arts, local government, and the labour market. Metro Dynamics was commissioned to provide support to the Inclusive Growth Commission, which took the form of preparing briefing reports, organising and facilitating meetings, and consulting with a wide variety of stakeholders and stakeholder organisations through workshop sessions and interviews.

The Commission prepared a final report with detailed recommendations to the Borough on how to create and build the opportunities that are in, and those that will come to it in the next decade. A series of ambitions to raise the socio-economic performance of the Borough were also outlined.
