Matt Davies

Matt Davies is an experienced regeneration and economic development specialist with more than 20 years of insight working across the public, private, and third sectors, principally in north and east London. An Economist on paper, but an Urban Geographer in practice, his expertise lies in strategic placemaking, public/private partnerships, and inclusive economic growth.

He currently leads the Royal Docks Team’s Economy programme, overseeing a programme of initiatives focused on placemaking, enterprise support, and inclusive growth in the Royal Docks, working on behalf of both the Mayor of London (as landowner) and Mayor of Newham (as local authority).

Throughout his career, Matt has tried to connect communities, public institutions, and creative practitioners to unlock shared value and long-term resilience, particularly in underinvested parts of London.
