State of Sheffield 2009

The State of Sheffield report describes the social, economic and environment condition of Sheffield in 2009.  Its over-riding purpose is to identify recent trends and emerging needs to inform the planning of services in the city over the medium to long terms (5 to 10 years).

 

The report is set out in six sections: first a section on the City’s population trends, followed by a section on each of the City Strategy’s five themes:

 

 

Analysis of what the data is telling us, alongside description of trends, is provided for each chapter.

 

 

The report has been drawn up with the help of colleagues from across the city, including the City Council, NHS Sheffield, South Yorkshire Police and Sheffield First Partnership.

 

We are keen to ensure that the State of Sheffield becomes a useful resource for all partner organisations in the city, providing an up to date overview of our shared understanding of the city, and helping to inform the choices that partners make about service delivery and meeting the diverse needs of Sheffield’s residents.

 

In order to do this, as well as an annual position statement (of which this document is the first), we are planning to bring regular thematic updates to these pages as more information becomes available during the year.
