It’s increasingly recognised that traditional ways of addressing social, economic and environmental issues are not likely to generate the substantive changes needed to address the persistent and increasing disadvantage faced by many communities.

John Doorbar, Manager Regions and Cities, Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, also spoke about the ways MBIE is supporting regional and community aspirations for economic development and employment.
