Project explores 2030 vision for the Cambridge sub-region

A workshop next month focusing on 'Land use in the Cambridge sub-region' is part of 2030 Vision, an ambitious two-year project to look at what we want Cambridge and its surrounding area to be like in 2030 and to ask what we need to put in place now to achieve that.

The aim is to develop a vision that local authorities and others can take into account in their statutory processes.

Over the next two years, 10 topics will be considered. 

The next - at a workshop on Thursday 8 March at 6.30 pm,  to be held at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Wilberforce Road, Cambridge CB3 0WA - is on land use in the Cambridge sub-region:


· How do we accommodate the needs of housing and business?
· How do we keep the area attractive and interesting?


Come and give your views in a discussion led by Roger Crabtree, with introductory talks by
- Jonathan Rose (AECom): the needs of business
- Robin Pellew (Cambridge Past, Present & Future): the Green Belt

See cambridgeppf.org/vision/6/ for background


The output for each 2030 Vision topic will be a very brief summary paper, together with more detailed backup material to be held on Cambridge Past Present & Future’s web site.

At the end of the two years, when all 10 topics have been covered, the project will consider the whole sub-region defined by the Cambridge travel-to-work area – a radius of about 25 miles.

The workshops are being funded by BAA Stansted and are organised by a group with no political affiliations, including  Cambridge Past Present & Future, the University of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce and FeCRA.
