The evidence base will include: * Key plans, such as the City Strategy, Vision 2030, Strategic Economic Plan, Black Country Core Strategy, Black Country UCEF. * Information from other key commissions, such as the Skills & Employment Commission. * Research documents, such as the recent BOP report on the creative and cultural economy, research from planning, city development and other commercial pieces of research. * National and Regional Data, such as NOMIS and other key statistics including data from the regional observatory. * Local data relating to city specific initiatives and performance. * Other intelligence, data and documents including research from the last three years.
