Brixton will be proud of its history, comfortable with its present and ambitious for its future. It will reject the ordinary, the lower quality and standard forms of new development.
Brixton will be a thriving town centre that meets the aspirations of all its inhabitants, providing a wide range of high quality and affordable housing, access to a mix of retail and leisure facilities, high quality public realm, and open space. 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.
