This book explores the role of leadership in shaping places and driving sustainable urban and regional development. Moving beyond the traditional organisational focus of leadership studies, it uses inspiring case studies to show how place-based leadership can become more attuned to local needs, across sectors such as housing, healthcare, creative industries and environmental sustainability.

Addressing societal challenges—urbanisation, inequality and climate resilience—it offers practical strategies for place-centric leadership which drives social value. Bridging theory and practice, this timely resource will inspire academics, policy makers and practitioners to rethink leadership for equitable, thriving communities.
