Future Ready Market Towns: Derbyshire’s Collaborative Model for Regeneration and Investment
How can market towns reinvent themselves for the future – while staying true to their identity?
Join Invest in Derbyshire and Derbyshire’s district & borough partners at UKREiiF for a panel discussion exploring how long‑term, place‑led regeneration is unlocking investment, revitalising town centres and creating future‑ready market towns across Derbyshire.
Hear directly from leaders in local government, development and design as they share lessons from major regeneration programmes in towns including Buxton, Chesterfield, Swadlincote, Ashbourne, Heanor, Long Eaton and Clay Cross – and discuss what investors, developers and partners are looking for right now.
The session will explore:
- How public–private collaboration can deliver whole‑town transformation
- The role of design, heritage and innovation in strengthening town centres
- Emerging investment and development opportunities across Derbyshire
- What makes Derbyshire’s market towns distinctive, investable and resilient
