The Belfast Agenda Vision and Strategic Outcomes

Community planning is a responsibility the council took on in 2015 as a result of local government reform. It's about making sure that public services work together with communities to deliver real improvements for local people. The first Community Plan – the Belfast Agenda – was created by a partnership of key city partners, residents and community organisations. The plan sets out our joint vision and long-term ambitions for Belfast's future, as well as outlining our priorities for action over the next four years. The vision for Belfast in 2035 set out in the Belfast Agenda is: "Belfast will be a city re-imagined and resurgent. A great place to live and work for everyone. Beautiful, well connected and culturally vibrant, it will be a sustainable city shared and loved by all its citizens, free from the legacy of conflict. A compassionate city offering opportunities for everyone. A confident and successful city energising a dynamic and prosperous city region. A magnet for talent and business and admired around the world. A city people dream to visit." Delivery of this vision is based on five strategic outcomes, namely: Everyone in Belfast benefits from a thriving and prosperous economy; Belfast is a welcoming, safe, fair and inclusive city for all; Everyone in Belfast fulfils their potential; Everyone in Belfast experiences good health and wellbeing; and Belfast is a vibrant, attractive, connected and environmentally sustainable city.
