PROGRAMME AGENDA13 OCTOBER 2016

Welcome to the Cardiff Convention 2016

This event brings together some of the leading thinkers incity development to Cardiff, and gives us an opportunity tolearn from the best, while helping us deliver our vision ofbecoming Europe’s most liveable Capital City.

We know that we are doing a lot right in Cardiff. Our city hascontinued to grow, and over 10,000 more people are inemployment in 2016 than in 2015 according to the latestGovernment statistics1. Unemployment has fallen by over2,5002. We’ve seen an increase in visitors of 5% meaningthat over twenty million five hundred thousand people nowvisit the city annually3.

However we also know that there is more that we can do toimprove quality of life. Growth is good. But not at any cost.Not only do we need to mitigate the impact of growth, interms of how it impacts on our environment as well asissues such as congestion, we also need to make sure thatwe can share in the benefits. We also know that noteveryone has benefited from growth, and there is a needfor growth to be inclusive. This is why we’re taking forwarda broader approach to measuring our success, based onliveability - on how healthy, safe, green and fair our city is -not simply on economic output.

It’s important that we recognise our success. Cardiff hasestablished a reputation on the world stage as a great placeto live, work and visit. The recent EU Urban Audit identifiedCardiff as the UK’s most liveable city, with the 6th highestresident satisfaction of any European capital, so it isperhaps unsurprising that people want to live in the city. Thisgrowth is a sign of our achievements, but it brings its ownchallenges. In accommodating this growth, we must protectthe very quality that is making people and business chooseCardiff in the first place - it’s liveability.

Many of you will already be contributing to the developmentof Cardiff and today is a chance for those leading the futureof the city to get together with those who have deliveredelsewhere. It is an opportunity for us to forge newpartnerships, develop new approaches, and to thinkcreatively about how we deliver our vision of becomingEurope’s most liveable Capital City.

We are well positioned to deliver this, and today will take usanother step forward.
