A new report has called for an overhaul in business rates, major investment in connectivity and devolved immigration powers for Scottish cities.
The study - commissioned by Brodies and Anderson Anderson and Brown, along with the Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh Chambers of Commerce - found that the pandemic, climate crisis and Brexit have combined to create a potentially “toxic” cocktail of change for urban Scotland.
It therefore called on businesses and all levels of government to collaborate to let cities overcome the challenges they face in this period of profound change.
