Focusing development on the edge of Cambridge in immediate proximity to employment and to planned public transport improvements is demonstrably the best strategy to enable growth to take place consistent with climate change objectives. At Cambridge South, comprehensively planned development would have the additional benefit of integrating social, recreation, retail and support facilities to reduce the need to travel. The opportunity exists to plan an exemplary urban extension.
