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.
