A central activity was the organisation of a Urban Popular Economy collective, which has enabled collaboration between Sheffield scholars and international partners, around key themes.

The collective considered issues of urban social reproduction, livelihood, and urban formations through a multiplicity of ground-level practices operating within and outside the prevailing logics of capital accumulation.
