The fortnightly briefing

Every two weeks, Sticky Places curates the most interesting, offbeat and illuminating global stories on place marketing, economic development and what makes people want to stay.

Practical. Pragmatic. Direct and authentic. Stories across five themes — Tourism, Economic Development, Residential, Environmental and Investment — with a sharp eye on what translates to the UK context.

Free to subscribe. No advertising in editorial content.


Story tips welcome

Know of a place doing something genuinely interesting? A regeneration project that's bucked the trend? A town that's found its identity? We want to hear about it.
