Themes

The Leeds City Centre Vision conference took place on 31st January 2008.

The five key themes for the day focused on:

  • International City Centre
  • Cultural Life
  • City Centre Living
  • Connectivity
  • Sustainability

Key questions addressed were:

  • What are the aspirations for the city centre over the next 5-20 years?
  • How can we ensure the city centre is a major driver for the regional economy and closing the gap?
  • How can we better communicate what’s great about being here?
  • How can we make the city centre a better, more interesting and memorable place to work in, live in and visit?
  • How can we create a city centre that’s appealing to all our senses; a ‘must go there’ destination for all Leeds residents, for investors, businesses, retailers, shoppers and visitors?
  • How can we make it a place where all Leeds residents can feel connected to the city and its prosperity?
