Now there are calls to nest economic regeneration strategies such as community wealth building within the broader frameworks of (New) Municipalism. Place was then expanded through ideas "joined-up thinking" and "cross-boundary working" to become a popular concept in service design and delivery (Collinge and Gibney, 2010).
Historically, in local-government, place has been a focus in planning and economic regeneration. This paper engages with that call from the perspective of a recently elected city leader and early career researcher with a particular interest in developing practices of critical leadership. Across the last decade, there have been repeated calls for analysis and theorising around the practice of place/city leadership (Collinge and Gibney, 2010, Hambleton, 2014, Rapoport, Acuto and Grcheva, 2019). Place may have struggled for recognition as a factor in leadership studies (Jackson and Parry, 2018), however, place is a well-established concept in local government (Collinge and Gibney, 2010), although not necessarily as a way of understanding local government leadership.
