Cambridge’s green open spaces are one of the city’s outstanding assets.
There is a strong tradition of cycling and the city is ahead in tackling issues of sustainability and climate change.
As the city grows with new neighbourhoods, we are committed to maintain and strengthen Cambridge’s special character.
- The growth of Cambridge will lead to a substantial increase in the amount of public open space.
- We want to make sure that wildlife has a chance to thrive as well as adding to the local quality of life.
- We are working closely with the county council to improve public transport and cycling and walking networks, in order to reduce reliance on car travel.
