THE CONNECTED CITY
A SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY FOR BRIGHTON & HOVE

What we plan to do

  • Promote the health and well-being benefits of active travel e.g walking and cycling, through employers and schools to support the World Health Organisation’s designation of Brighton & Hove as a healthy city.
  • Design streets that are safe, accessible and attractive to residents, visitors and businesses / investors, encourage greater use of public spaces and therefore contribute to boosting the local economy
  • Maintain and improve connections between the city centre, the urban fringe and the South Downs National Park
  • Overcome actual and perceived road safety and personal security dangers in order to encourage use and access to sustainable transport
  • Develop green infrastructure, in conjunction with Urban Biosphere Bid and the new South Downs National Park
  • Encourage all schools across the city to develop, review and implement travel plans, with a strong focus on active, healthy travel
