The Vision lacks any reference to Cambridge as a centre of excellence and world leader in the fields of higher education and research. That is what makes Cambridge distinctive and successful. The aims relating to climate change, biodiversity and green spaces, wellbeing and social inclusion, great places, jobs, homes and infrastructure are supported, but overall aim should be to nurture Cambridge’s development as an national and global centre of excellence in education and research. The Plan should set out effective policies, proposals and strategies to ensure continued development in those fields for the next 20 years.
