In the face of mounting policy concerns around regional inequalities, productivity weakness and the under-performance of the UK's second-tier cities, this project seeks to understand changing mobility patterns of high-skilled labour, how local actors make places attractive to such labour, and potential implications for Levelling Up. This is important because human capital (the knowledge, skills, experiences and attributes of the workforce) is "central to the economic and social well-being of people and places" (DLUHC, p.186). It is timely because the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated pre-existing trends in the take up of hybrid/remote/home working that may have the potential to alter the economic geography of the UK. We will use quantitative methods to map how the spatial residential mobility of high-skilled workers has evolved pre-, during and post-pandemic as well as identify the determinants and effects of these changing mobility patterns. We will conduct in-depth case studies of three major regional cities in the UK to identify mechanisms through which they can enhance attraction and retention of high value human capital. Hence, the research will provide insights into how high-skilled mobility patterns are shifting, and associated opportunities and challenges for Mission 1 of the Levelling Up White Paper regarding growth in employment and productivity in every area of the UK, with each region containing a globally competitive city.This project aims to shed new light on how changes in working patterns affect the residential and other spatial mobility behaviour of high-skilled labour and the implications for economic growth trajectories and Levelling Up. The analysis will answer the following research questions: 1. What factors influence the residential (im)mobility of high-skilled workers? 2. What are the implications of WFH for spatial disparities and growth? 3. How can policy make places attractive and "sticky" to high-skilled labour?

面对围绕区域不平等的越来越多的政策，生产力弱点和英国第二层城市的绩效不足，该项目旨在了解不断变化的高技能劳动的流动性模式，当地参与者如何使该劳动的吸引力以及对升级的潜在影响。这很重要，因为人力资本（劳动力的知识，技能，经验和属性）是“人民和地方的经济和社会福祉的核心”（DLUHC，第186页）。这是及时的，因为COVID-19的大流行已经加快了混合/远程/家庭工作的趋势，这可能有可能改变英国的经济地理。我们将使用定量方法来绘制高技能工人的空间居民迁移率如何发展前，期间和流行后，以及确定这些不断变化的活动性模式的决定因素和影响。我们将对英国三个主要地区城市进行深入的案例研究，以确定它们可以增强高价值人力资本的吸引和保留的机制。 Hence, the research will provide insights into how high-skilled mobility patterns are shifting, and associated opportunities and challenges for Mission 1 of the Levelling Up White Paper regarding growth in employment and productivity in every area of​​ the UK, with each region containing a globally competitive city.This project aims to shed new light on how changes in working patterns affect the residential and other spatial mobility behaviour of high-skilled labour and the implications for economic growth trajectories and Levelling 向上。分析将回答以下研究问题：1。哪些因素影响高技能工人的住宅（IM）流动性？ 2。WFH对空间差异和增长有什么影响？ 3.政策如何使地方吸引人并“粘”对高技能的劳动力？
