Commitments

This is a big agenda and it includes everyone. A long-term, whole system approach, across a city region of 2.8 million people, with ten localities and hundreds of neighbourhoods can start to feel big, messy and overwhelming. In order to create clarity and simplicity in what is a complex system and a complex issue, we need to organise our thinking and our collective action.

These are our commitments.
