Abstract

The research project explored the ways in which Enterprise Zones established across England have met the needs of rural enterprise and the lessons which have emerged in order to inform new policy approaches such as ‘Investment Zones’. It highlights how Enterprise Zones could be re-designed in several ways to offer greater rural reach and potential for rural businesses.
