2. Exeter Vision 2040
We play a leading and significant role in delivering the aspirations of the Exeter Vision, and our four key priorities - Local Economy, Homes, People and Sustainable Environment - align with the aspirations of the Exeter Vision.
The Exeter Vision 2040 was adopted in December 2019. It highlights transformational change and sustainable growth to be delivered in collaboration with our stakeholders and partners.
It spells out the social, economic and environmental outcomes that the city, its stakeholders and communities aspire to.
The Vision’s mission statement is:
“By the time they are an adult, a child born in Exeter today will live in a city that is inclusive, healthy and sustainable - a city where the opportunities and benefits of prosperity are shared and all citizens are able to participate fully in the city’s economic, social, cultural and civic life.”
The seven areas of focus of the Exeter Vision 2040 are:
- Innovative and analytical city
- Healthy and inclusive
- The most active city in the UK
- Accessible world-class education
- Liveable and connected
- A leading sustainable city
- City of culture
The services provided to Exeter’s residents and communities make an important contribution to the Vision. But it can only be delivered by working collaboratively with our partners.
Key to this is the Exeter Partnership, made up of representatives from leading public and private sector organisations from within the City of Exeter and the wider region.
The Partnership focuses on key areas including culture, climate, housing, the city centre, and health, with an emphasis on collaboration and innovation to achieve meaningful outcomes for Exeter.
It actively supports other key stakeholders in achieving their goals, whenever those priorities align with Exeter’s Vision, fostering collaboration for the benefit of the entire city and the greater region.
