As part of their mission to catalyse investment into net zero, 3Ci worked with local authorities to identify a diverse range of prospective Net Zero Neighbourhoods and subsequently published them in our Net Zero Neighbourhood prospectus. The next step was to translate these opportunities into propositions that could attract real investment.

Acting on a recommendation from 3Ci’s Investor Task Force to produce investor-focused documentation, 3Ci with support from KPMG as our professional advisors developed detailed Investment Memorandums (IMs) in collaboration with Hounslow Council and Glasgow City Council. Barclays contributed feedback to 3Ci to help align the work with likely investor expectations.

The UK’s legally binding commitment to achieve net zero by 2050 creates one of the most significant challenges for the built environment.

This report, produced by Connected Places Catapult and 3Ci, demonstrates that place-based Net Zero Neighbourhoods, supported by targeted government funding and robust investment models, can unlock private capital and accelerate large-scale retrofit across the UK.
