Redeveloping this area provides a great opportunity for "more Cambridge"; for more of the activities which already take place successfully in the city to be accommodated, in a modern and practical manner. There is huge potential for a great return on the significant national Government investment which is to be made in the area. The design of the area should be focused on enabling those living and working in it to contribute to the challenges facing humanity. As well as a financial return a successful place here has the potential to make life more pleasant for large numbers of people and help keep Cambridge as a global centre of knowledge based activity, biotechnology, and high tech engineering.

I strongly support the proposals for enabling more people to live closer to where they work; reducing commuting and congestion and for an increased density of business activity in the area, supported by the new station and other transport improvements.
