Levelling up. We have heard it thousands of times now, but what does it really mean for a city like Sheffield?
We learnt last month that HS2 will not be coming to Sheffield, which was a significant blow, not just for the city but for the region. Agreeing to progress the southern leg of HS2 imminently, but only proceeding with half of the scheme in the North, seems to fly in the face of any serious levelling-up intentions.
But HS2 was never just about the trains, it was also about kick-starting regeneration around our regional cities, and Sheffield certainly needs that.
In this article first published in EG, Sheffield real estate partner, Kellie Hatton, discusses why Sheffield is well placed to thrive in a post-pandemic world and what it has to gain from the levelling up agenda.
