Sheffield’s leaders intend to showcase the city as a global, green and growing city when elected officials, civic leaders and businesspeople will attend the UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum in Leeds next week.
Sheffield will be attending in partnership with the South Yorkshire Mayoral Authority to shine a light on recent progress. The delegation will demonstrate the city’s commitment to reimagining the city centre, preserving heritage and leading the way on carbon net zero.
The City Council’s Chief Executive Kate Josephs, who’ll be speaking at the event, said: “We are so proud of what we are delivering in Sheffield right now. Our major city centre regeneration projects are providing stunning architecture, celebrating our heritage and identity, and aligning with our net zero goals. Confidence is coursing through the city and we’re harnessing this to drive our next phase of growth.”
Championed as the ‘Outdoor City’, Sheffield is raising its global profile and is home to groundbreaking initiatives like the world’s first Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District, the UK’s first Investment Zone, and the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park.
The conference also provides a platform to shout about the city’s game changing city centre regeneration, including the Sheffield City Council-led £470m Heart of the City scheme that has delivered innovative new developments interlinked by world class green spaces.
