7. Draft High-Level Goals and Objectives Vision
The LECP shares the vision set out in the new Cork City Development Plan (2022-2028): -
“.. Cork City to take its place as a world class city, driving local and regional growth, embracing diversity and inclusiveness and growing as a resilient, healthy, age-friendly and sustainable compact city with placemaking, communities and quality of life at its heart.”
Draft High-Level Goals
The LECP Advisory Group have drafted a set of High-Level goals and objectives which will seek to realise the above vision and continue the excellent progress which has been made by the city over the past decade but also address the current issues facing the city. These draft high-level goals and objectives will be brought out to public consultation and therefore may change as a result. They are broad enough to stay relevant over the 6-year lifetime of the plan and capable of reacting to future challenges and capitalising on future opportunities and actions. When deciding the goals and objectives, the Advisory Group considered the findings of the socio- economic analysis, the review of the outgoing plan as well as a policy review commissioned by Cork City Council and carried out by Cork University Business School. This comprehensive policy review assessed relevant local, regional, national, and global policies and strategies in order to identify policy gaps and recommend high-level goals to be considered in the new LECP. Overall, a total of 86 policies were deemed relevant to the LECP, 47 related to community and social policy and 39 related to economic and environmental policy.
These are the 6 draft High-Level Goals agreed and approved by the LECP Advisory group:
1. A city valuing health and wellbeing. 2. A city built on partnership, inclusion, and equality. 3. A city of learning and culture. 4. A city driving economic and enterprise development. 5. A city of safe, accessible, and resilient neighbourhoods and communities. 6. A city leading on sustainability and climate action.
