From Liverpool, Cameron was educated at Quarry Bank High School, where as a prefect he had 'several brushes' with future Beatle John Lennon.[1] He read Politics and Economics at Durham University.[3]
He was the editor of Urban Studies (1969–1973), with his academic specialism being the economics of major cities in declining regions.[3] Cameron, who founded the Centre for Urban and Regional Research at Glasgow University, served as an economic consultant to the Secretary of State for Scotland (1976–1980) before moving to Cambridge.[3]
