City Deal

City Deals are an initiative enacted by the UK government in 2012 to promote economic growth and infrastructure while ultimately shifting control of decisions away from the central government to local authorities. City Deals are generally set for ten year plans and have been enacted across several cities within the United Kingdom.

In March 2017, the Australian Government announced it would begin modeling City Deals after UK models.[1][2][3][4]
