Its rich cultural diversity and heritage will drive the expansion of the arts and creative industries. The re-energising of its cultural spaces, attractions, business space, and markets together will transform Brixton into an iconic destination that is welcoming and safe for all. Brixton will prosper economically for the benefit of its local community.
- Brixton will manage its own destiny - be proactive, not reactive.
- Brixton will use its built and cultural heritage to maintain its position as an iconic visitor destination within London.
- Brixton will have a vibrant, living heart, with first class spaces and places.
