2.2 Sheffield Today
Sheffield One
The driving force behind Sheffield’s regeneration is Sheffield
One, a partnership organisation of Sheffield City Council, English
Partnerships and Yorkshire Forward, the Regional Development Agency
for Yorkshire and Humber. Sheffield One is one of the first three
pilot urban regeneration companies established by the Central Government
to deliver the recommendations of Richard Rogers Urban Task Force
Report, Towards an Urban Renaissance.
Sheffield One has been charged with the leadership of the regeneration
of the Sheffield city centre. Bringing together national, regional
and local agencies, Sheffield One’s principal task is to work with
partners to develop an economically strong and sustainable city
centre as the focus for the region. Under their direction, all the
issues that affect the city centre are being systematically tackled,
including economic factors, transport, property, planning and the
environment.
The work of Sheffield One and its partnership organisations will
establish the conditions for future growth of the city and ensure
that all local communities have access to new opportunities created.
A substantial funding package has been secured to deliver a program
of investment in the city’s infrastructure and urban environment,
recognising the strategic importance of the Sheffield city centre
as an economic driver for the region.
A key strategic objective of Sheffield One’s delivery program has
been the preparation of a Masterplan and the implementation of its
recommendations to guide the future regeneration of the city centre.
