Four universities sit alongside a diverse business base – Leeds is home to a major financial and professional services sector and also has concentrations of globally significant manufacturing, healthcare and digital technology firms. Already home to the busiest rail station outside London, Leeds is set to cement its role as a central East-West and North-South transport hub through the arrival of HS2. This is accelerating what is already one of largest regeneration projects and new business locations in Europe: Leeds South Bank, which is emerging as a world-class business location with superior digital infrastructure and scope to accommodate 35 thousand new jobs and 4 thousand new homes. Growth is increasingly spread beyond the city centre. Sites such as Thorpe Park, White Rose Office Park, Kirkstall Forge and the Aire Valley Enterprise Zone are driving this, as will proposals to allocate 36 hectares of high-quality employment land to house 5,5 thousand jobs adjacent to Leeds Bradford International Airport, the UK’s fastest-growing airport, and a new major area of employment land at Capitol Park at Tingley. Leeds has a visitor offer that is underpinning its economic ambitions, spreading across retail, leisure, culture and sport. This will be boosted further through the Leeds Capital of Culture bid in 2023. The city is seeking the redevelopment of Headingley Stadium to retain international cricket.
