Core Cities
Our three year plan and our new priorities
Core Cities UK has spent more than 25 years arguing the case for UK cities. That quarter of a century has seen us make major strides, the biggest one being the fact that all political parties now recognise cities as an opportunity to be grasped rather than a problem to be solved.
But there is still much to do and as we begin a new chapter in our history we've set out our priorities for the next three years.
We have established the following inter-connected priorities.
1. Economy - Our work on the future of Urban Britain, including tackling productivity.
2. Climate Change - Working with 3CI to deliver Net Zero as an investment and jobs dividend.
3. International - Using city diplomacy to extend our UK-wide and global reach.
4. Infrastructure - Increasing housing numbers, sustainability and quality.
5. Urban health and wellbeing - Seeing this as a first order economic issue, increasing health and employment through public service innovation.
