Life from a different angle

Caerffili 2035

Our bold and ambitious Placemaking Plan will transform Caerffili, making it a better place to live, work and visit.

Caerffili is home to big ideas and fresh perspectives. That’s why, together with the people of Caerffili, we’re reimagining the town centre to reflect its unique character, needs and aspirations.

Placemaking Plan: in a nutshell

A placemaking plan is a blueprint for creating engaging public spaces that strengthen the connection between people and place. It’s a collaborative process that focuses on a community’s social, cultural, economic and environmental prospects.

A marathon, not a sprint.

Let’s break it down a little bit… Placemaking Plans are like preparing for a marathon. There are a lot of steps to take before you start the race (plan).

Vision

Step 1

This is Caerffili’s idea for what we want our town to be. It’s our north star. And we make it our mission to reach it.

Community engagement

Step 2

Placemaking Plans are driven by the locals. Through workshops, surveys and public meetings, we ensure that our community’s voices are heard – every step of the way.

Strategy

Step 3

The plan doesn’t stop at ideas. Our strategy outlines the steps we take to plan, build and deliver developments to make Caerffili a better place to live, work and visit.

Making it happen (starting the race)

By 2035, Caerffili will be the talk of every town.
