"By 2026, Swindon will be a leading regional centre, offering a high quality life not just to its 250,000 residents but also to a much wider catchment area. We will be the best business location in the UK with a mature, dynamic and successful economy.
Swindon will have an international reputation as a centre of innovation, science and technology and as an example of sustainable living. It will have a dynamic and vibrant town centre, with radically improved cultural, educational and leisure facilities."
The previous paragraph is an extract from the Swindon Economic Development Vision and Framework. This document was launched in January 2007 to outline Swindon's response to the challenges of global economy, climate change, Britain's ageing population and the growth of economies in India and China.
