Summary

The English Core Cities - Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield - have begun an economic renaissance in recent years. Nevertheless, there remain concerns that they:

are not punching their weight economically in the national context;
are falling behind London;
lack the right powers and resources to improve their performance;
and do not make as great a contribution to the national economic welfare, as comparable cities in continental Europe.

The report below examines if this is a true reflection.
