Quality of Life Project

One of the key priorities for Cambridge Ahead has always been to improve the Quality of Life for those who live and work in the Cambridge area.

The purpose of this workstream is to ensure that Cambridge’s growth is inclusive and improves quality of life in Greater Cambridge for all residents and communities, and to promote this as the basis of decision-making about the city region’s future. 

Over time we have built up an archive of useful research, publications and media articles – some our own and some from third parties – that serve as a useful resource for our Members, academics, business and other bodies and people interested in the future of Cambridge.
