- Summary
- COI synopsis: Sheffield is a city famous for its steel, but now it’s becoming famous for something else - its major campaign against industrial pollution. Once it was one of the many grimy cities in the industrial heartland of Britain but as a result of co-operation between industry, the local authority and the people who live there it’s now the cleanest industrial city in Europe. Michele Brown finds out how they did it.
