The council’s reluctant acceptance of private investment led to a new-millennium revival of Sheffield’s infrastructure and the development of modern modes of work based on technology, the arts and retail, despite which the city is still one of the most demarcated in the country in terms of the contrast between the wealthy and the poor.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter examines the circumstances that led to Sheffield’s industrial and social decline in the 1980s and 1990s, the Socialist City Council’s battles with the Conservative Government and the legacy of the World Student Games that burdened Sheffield with a huge debt. The council’s reluctant acceptance of private investment led to a new-millennium revival of Sheffield’s infrastructure and the development of modern modes of work based on technology, the arts and retail, despite which the city is still one of the most demarcated in the country in terms of the contrast between the wealthy and the poor.]
