We are working to attract inward economic investment into Scotland’s towns, cities and communities that will deliver housing, improve public service delivery, economic benefits and contribute to Scotland’s net zero carbon target.
Across the public sector, there is a growing focus on Place which requires a One Public Sector approach.
This approach looks at how public assets can be deployed collaboratively to enable joined up services, achieve better outcomes for communities, deliver efficiencies and savings and provide leverage for economic growth.
