Luton 2040
A healthy, fair and sustainable town where everyone can thrive, and no one has to live in poverty.
Our collective town-wide vision for Luton in 2040 is a bold and ambitious one - a healthy, fair, and sustainable town where everyone can thrive, and no one has to live in poverty.
Together, as key system leaders and anchor institutions, we have developed this vision with residents and partners across Luton, based on their aspirations for the future of the town and the 225,300 people that live here.
What it is
The Luton 2040 vision is focussed on a central mission, to tackle poverty and inequality so that everyone can enjoy a good quality of life. This responds directly to the evidence gathered by the Inclusive Growth Commission in 2019, which recognised the scale of poverty in our town and the clear link between this and many other challenges, including education and health inequalities. The Luton 2040 vision is built around five priorities, each of which contributes to achieving our central mission and our overall vision for the town.
