===Combined authority===
{{main|South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority}}
The city of Sheffield is part of the wider [[South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority]], headed by mayor [[Oliver Coppard]] since 2022. The [[combined authority]] covers the former 1974–1986 [[South Yorkshire County Council]] area which functions either went to local or regional authorities.

In 2004, as part of the ''Moving Forward: [[The Northern Way]]'' document,<ref name="Moving Forward:The Northern Way">{{cite web |url=http://www.thenorthernway.co.uk/trackdoc.asp?id=19&pId=55 |title=Moving Forward:The Northern Way |access-date=24 September 2017}}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> city regions were created in a collaboration with the three northern [[Regional development agency|regional development agencies]]. These became independent [[Local enterprise partnership]]s in 2011.

The area's partnership retains the Sheffield City Region name, covering the South Yorkshire authorities, as well as [[Bolsover District]], [[Borough of Chesterfield]], [[Derbyshire Dales]], [[North East Derbyshire]] and [[Bassetlaw District]]. In 2014, the ''Sheffield City Region Combined authority'' was formed by the South Yorkshire [[Local government|local authorities]] with the other councils as non-constituent members and the partnership integrated with the authority structure. In September 2020, the authority changed to its current name.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sheffieldcityregion.org.uk/about-us-governance-policy/who-we-are/ |title=It's fun to become the YMCA! |publisher=sheffieldcityregion.org.uk |access-date=18 September 2020 |archive-date=23 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200923103343/https://sheffieldcityregion.org.uk/about-us-governance-policy/who-we-are/ |url-status=dead}}</ref>
