Ainsley on Talking Progress: Industrial Heartlands: Shifting the Tide through Local Leadership

  • June 4, 2026
  • Claire Ainsley

How can structural transformation in former industrial regions be managed in a way that fosters economic resilience, climate action, and democratic trust?

In the fifth episode of our “Talking Progress” series, we put the spotlight on the crucial role of local governance. Looking at the Industrial Heartlands in both the US and Germany, we explore how local governments shape the day-to-day lives of citizens, and why delivering reliable answers on the ground is the most effective remedy against the populist radical-right.
