Each Metropolitan Area Strategic Plan will set out a clear

and concise strategy to:

Identify the key change parameters for the city in

travel patterns and key renewal, development and

amenity areas

Work out a sequence of infrastructure prioritisation,

delivery and co-ordination; and

Deliver compact regeneration and growth.

in Metro, but…
