Bristol Business Community Launches 2050 Vision
A blueprint for Bristol’s development over the next 40 years has
been published. The publication is the culmination of a
two-year project known as Bristol 2050 and is thought to be the
first of its kind in Europe. Bristol 2050 has brought
together business leaders from across the region, led by Business
West. Together they have looked past Bristol’s current
overall prosperity and have discarded the very English penchant for
the status quo – to test the boundaries, think boldly and keep
growth concerns at the absolute forefront of future policy
thinking. Read more or visit www.bristol2050.co.uk
