Making it happen – our policy priorities in action
This plan creates the foundation for long-term change, for Sheffield to be a more prosperous city and for more people to succeed.
Over the coming decade, there are game-changing investment opportunities across the city which will truly bring to life our ambitions for Sheffield to be more prosperous, with more people sharing in that prosperity. Investment at scale also represents a significant opportunity to make sure new developments make a positive contribution to a low carbon future. The projects below will go beyond the life of this Plan – and undoubtedly, other opportunities will arise in the coming four years – but the groundwork will be done now and in the coming years, transforming our city with more new homes; a dynamic environment for businesses to start-up and scale-up as part of our world class knowledge economy; and green, reliable transport networks to connect people throughout our city.
Our mission - ‘together we get things done’ - is critical here, demonstrating the scale of opportunity and ambition in Sheffield that can be realised by working creatively and collaboratively with partners and local communities.
