Our Vision

We’re working to create a more sustainable, inclusive, and accessible district, delivering real benefits for people living, working, studying, and visiting Bradford today, while laying the groundwork for future investment across the district.

It's vital that we get the blueprint for Bradford district’s future right. That means creating a city that puts people first, connecting communities to help everyone access our rich culture and heritage, and supporting physical and mental wellbeing. Better connections are also important for attracting more high-quality jobs that people can access to drive our future growth and success.

A key part of this vision is reducing our reliance on car travel and tackling the congestion it causes. By addressing this head-on, we can improve air quality and public health, especially for children and older people who are most affected. We can give everyone better options for getting and ensure that those without access to a car can still pick kids up from school, access job opportunities and services, and visit family and friends.

Alongside modernising our transport network, we have bold plans to enhance public spaces across the district. New green areas and planting will not only improve the look and feel of the district, but will also provide an attractive setting for Bradford’s stunning architecture. These revitalised spaces will promote wellbeing and offer calm, welcoming places for people to relax, recharge, and connect.

Through major investment and continued public engagement, we’re transforming our transport infrastructure and public spaces, reinforcing Bradford’s role as a leading city and ensuring it plays a vital part in the region’s success for years to come.
