Plan for Growth

South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority

As part of the development of the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) Plan for Good Growth, Metro Dynamics were commissioned by SYMCA to understand the barriers to growth in South Yorkshire, which informed the direction and focus of the plan. The final output from this work had been published as an accompanying evidence base to the plan here.

With a focus on understanding growth and constraints on growth, our wide-ranging analysis in this project explored factors including tradable jobs, economic complexity, investment, the innovation ecosystem, and economic and social infrastructure.
