项目摘要

The UK RDRF brings together a number of research strands funded under the DET, EPSRC and ESRC portfolios over the last decade to create a national facility to tackle the vexed question of regional competitiveness and rebalancing the UK economy. Following the Scottish referendum there have been renewed calls for greater devolution to regions and core cities. This facility will bring together the big economic data and construct the high resolution models needed to support policy makers at national, regional and local level. It will innovate by building together a model of the fixed stock of buildings, including housing, commercial, warehousing and manufacturing, with a network model of key infrastructure. This will allow analysis of which policy nudges might be expected to overcome the inertia present in the historic geography of the UK. It will allow a common framework of data and evidence ti be used by regional and local policy professionals wishing to evaluate policy options. The whole facility is built on the opportunity created by CDT funding to develop a cohort of evidence based policy professionals and analysts to support the needs of a more devolved form of planning. We aim to support the creation of a 'community of practice' based on access to big economic data and open source analysis and modelling tools. We will host workshops and networks to spread best practice and create some institutional glue amongst the people concerned. Finally, we will engage local communities in the debate and bring the same evidence and tools to the public at large through crowd science and in-the-wild research engagement.

英国 RDRF 汇集了过去十年中由 DET、EPSRC 和 ESRC 投资组合资助的多个研究部门，旨在创建一个国家机构，以解决区域竞争力和英国经济再平衡这一棘手问题。苏格兰公投后，人们再次呼吁将权力更多地下放给地区和核心城市。该设施将汇集大经济数据并构建支持国家、区域和地方各级决策者所需的高分辨率模型。它将通过构建包括住房、商业、仓储和制造在内的固定建筑存量模型和关键基础设施的网络模型来进行创新。这将有助于分析哪些政策推动有望克服英国历史地理中存在的惯性。它将允许希望评估政策选择的区域和地方政策专业人员使用一个共同的数据和证据框架。整个设施建立在 CDT 资金创造的机会之上，旨在培养一批基于证据的政策专业人员和分析师，以支持更加权力下放的规划形式的需求。我们的目标是支持创建一个基于大经济数据和开源分析和建模工具的“实践社区”。我们将举办研讨会和网络，以传播最佳实践，并在相关人员之间建立一些制度凝聚力。最后，我们将让当地社区参与辩论，并通过群体科学和野外研究参与向广大公众提供相同的证据和工具。
