About us

City-REDI (City-Region Economic Development Institute) is a leading evidence-based and policy-focused academic research institute, focusing on finding solutions to people and place-based inclusive economic, social and environmental development. Based at the University of Birmingham, our mission is to work in partnership with people and places to facilitate local, regional and responsible growth for the benefit of all. Our work focuses on the following research areas: Ideas – the generation of new ideas and innovation as essential for creative, successful, and resilient regions. People – focussed on creating successful places through successful people. Infrastructure – including green and blue, digital, energy, transport and housing as essential components of place-based growth and prosperity. Business – businesses as the drivers of employment and skills to drive wealth locally. Places – focused on places, institutions and how key policies come together and interact in positive ways. We run two major research-council-funded projects: the West Midlands Regional Economic Development Institute (WMREDI) and The Local Policy Innovation Partnership (LPIP) Hub.
