Abstract: Developments in civic leadership’s advocacy are examined in the context of the case for UK universities becoming ‘truly civic’ leaders in their localities. New Civic Leadership (NCL) thinking encapsulates innovation and improvisation in public services co-production, demonstrated notably by local government-based initiatives. Meanwhile, an independent commission has proposed formalized enhancement of universities’ civic leadership roles. This article considers the extent to which civic leadership and opportunities for advancing the ‘NCL’ model arise in this commission’s report; concluding that the report illustrates tensions as well as opportunities in universities’ place-leadership and for co-production’s advancement.
