Making places profitable – Sheffield, 19-20 September 2006 19-09-2006 Introduction “Making places profitable” is the first international conference on Creating
a Setting for Investment (CSI). The conference is organised by the Sheffield
City Council, South Yorkshire Forest Partnership and Sheffield University. The
conference examines the relation between environmental quality and economic
growth.
Description
The CSI project is led by South Yorkshire Forest Partnership (a National
Community Forest partner) and involves Local Authorities, Universities and
Investment Agencies in South Yorkshire, Walloon Region, Belgium and North Rhine
Westphalia, Germany. This partnership has secured funding from INTERREG
(European Funding) and a series of national and regional organisations including
Yorkshire Forward and the Department for Communities and Local Government
(DCLG).
The partners intend to help improve the image of the participating regions to
investors, and to ensure that the necessary economic emphasis is given to the
environment in strategic and funding decisions. The CSI project aims to address
the lack of evidence of the link between environmental quality and economic
activity, and particularly of the impact of landscape quality on investors’
location decisions.
