ONE CITY GATHERING:
Collaborating for Bristol

8 November 2024

The City Gathering brings together leaders from the public, private, voluntary and community sectors to deliver the One City Vision that by 2050, Bristol will be a fair, healthy and sustainable city, a city of hope and aspiration where everyone can share in its success.

We are excited to take the City Gathering to the University of Bristol’s Wills Memorial Building, an iconic and inspiring venue where, as usual, there will be plenty of opportunities to network and engage with others in the room.

Expect an exciting line up of expert speakers, insightful presentations, participatory activities, enthusiastic discussions, and networking to encourage city-wide collaboration towards achieving the One City Plan. To find out more please see the agenda near the bottom of this page.

One City Plan 2023

The Bristol One City Plan 2023 details Goals across six themes for Bristol. Containing over 500 Goals (three per year per theme), the Plan runs through to 2050. This is the fourth iteration of the Plan – you can also access our archive of 2019, 2020 and 2021 versions.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a framework for the key global challenges of economic, environmental and social sustainability, which every country in the world has agreed to deliver by 2030. Bristol is committed to delivering the SDGs locally, and every One City Plan goal has been mapped to them, which you can see via the Dashboard.

Goals Dashboard

Further to the paper version of the Plan, the Dashboard gives details of the SDGs that are covered by the Goals, and helps you to search by underlying themes and specific years.

Bristol Belonging Strategy
One City Strategies

There are a number of strategies produced by the One City Boards, that include further sector specific aims. Some of these strategies inform the work of Bristol City Council services and provide further Goals for working in partnership.
