The State of Sheffield report provides an overview of the city, describing how things are, how things are changing and how Sheffield compares to other similar places. It is not based on one single organisational perspective, but instead uses a wide range of existing data sources and reports. It is the only report that brings together information on developments in Sheffield to reflect on city-wide issues and trends.
The purpose of the report is to inform anyone with an interest in how our city is performing, including the city leaders on the Sheffield City Partnership Board, about the shared challenges and opportunities facing the city, and highlight future priorities to pursue.
This conference will outline the findings of the 2018 report and will cover the following key areas:
There will be contributions from The Chair of Sheffield City Partnership Board, Lord Blunkett of Brightside & Hillsborough, Editor of the Report Professor David Robinson from The University of Sheffield and Laura White, Partnership Manager. Other contributors to be confirmed.
Registration from 9.30 am

Professor David Robinson has agreed to act as Editor and Spokesperson for State of Sheffield 2018. Professor Robinson was previously the Director of CRESR at Sheffield Hallam University and is now in the Department of Geography at the University of Sheffield. He is very enthusiastic about the project and will be an excellent advocate.
We are in the process of confirming authors, advisers and sponsors for all of the chapters of the 2018 report.
Laying the Foundations sets out the emerging findings of the Commission and outlines the key foundations for a successful long-term industrial strategy. It argues that across the private and public sector and the political spectrum there is strong support for a new ambitious strategy. The Government must grasp the opportunity this consensus presents.
With uncertainty about the UK's economic prospects increasing, the report also outlines the serious and longstanding weaknesses and challenges affecting the UK economy - and the significant opportunities. It argues that a new strategy will enable public and private sectors to work together to invest in the UK's people, places and industries and achieve greater future prosperity.
But, the report warns that a new strategy will only be a success if it is embedded throughout the public sector and secures buy-in from the private sector, if it has sound foundations and offers a positive vision for the future.

The fabulous Sheffield Hallam University students we worked with to design the State of Sheffield 2017 report are exhibiting their work at the Sheffield Institute of Arts Degree Show 2017.
The students and lecturers are very proud - as are we!
In times of change, what can anchor institutions do to support inclusive growth? Anchors already make a significant contribution to a local economy through the services they provide, the large amount of money they spend and the number of local people they employ. With a collaborative, systematic approach, there is the potential to achieve so much more.

The All Party Parliamentary Group on Inclusive Growth brings together reformers across politics, business, trade unions, finance, churches, faith groups and civil society to forge a new consensus on inclusive growth and identify the practical next steps for reform. In 2017 the APPG launched a new partnership with the Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute (SPERI). Through new research and thinking its aim is to pinpoint what needs to change and how, and to lead the debate on finding a new consensus on inclusive growth.
This ground-breaking series of essays begins to set out the foundations for a new consensus in political economy. And not before time.
The RSA Inclusive Growth Final Report (making our economy work for everyone) launched on Tuesday 7th March.
The report considers evidence reviewed by the Commission through the course of its inquiry, which included evidence hearings, written submissions, research visits, seminars and policy and citizen engagement. It sets out a framework and recommendations for achieving inclusive growth. These are addressed equally to central government and to councils and UK city regions, many of which are on the threshold of important metro mayoral elections.
