our vision to 2030

Our collective vision of a green and thriving South Bank and Waterloo for everyone by 2030 is based around three pillars which provide the foundation for a transformation of our area: an inclusive place, a place of opportunity and a net zero carbon neighbourhood. Each pillar has a number of shared priorities, as outlined below, which will help us collectively achieve our vision.

A place of opportunity

South Bank and Waterloo is a place of fairness, with economic prosperity and resilience for all, and where everyone’s lives are improved through access to good jobs, training and business opportunities.

 

  • Economic prosperity: Economic opportunity for everyone
  • Growth and development: Development which benefits everyone in South Bank and Waterloo
  • Jobs, skills and learning: Everyone should be able to access quality jobs and learning opportunities locally
A net carbon zero neighbourhood

 Extensive work has been done on developing Net zero for Waterloo and South Bank: A fairer, greener Future Neighbourhood by 2030 which sets out how we aim to tackle the effects of the climate crisis in the area and develop a net zero and resilient neighbourhood where local communities will be inclusive, greener, healthier and thriving.

The following shared priorities are a summary of the key objectives outlined in that document.

  • Climate resilience: Improve energy efficiency of existing buildings and create a decarbonised, smart and integrated energy system
  • Healthy and thriving communities: Our neighbourhoods are climate adapted, resilient and green for everyone
  • Greener and cleaner: Improving air quality and the circular economy
