As quoted in Hull’s evolving City Plan “Exciting plans and multi-million pound investments are revitalising Hull – capitalising on the city’s position at the heart of the UK’s biggest port complex and its role as UK City of Culture 2017”.
The evolving City Plan aims to bring the whole community together to make Hull a place that is brimming with culture, enterprise and opportunity; a place where people want to live, work, play, study and do business; a city where those in the greatest need are valued and supported; a place that people will be proud to call home.
Launched in the summer of 2013, the City Plan aims to create 7,500 jobs for local people through projects and investments that will drive the delivery of a clear set of ambitions.
Achieving these ambitions will help Hull seize the once-in-a-generation opportunity it now has to reassert its role as a gateway to Europe and part of the Northern Powerhouse of cities that will help to rebalance the economic, social and cultural fabric of the UK.
