Vision

The vision for Aberdeen is to be a city which is vibrant, dynamic, forward looking – an even better place to live and work, where people can expect high-quality services that meet their needs. To deliver this vision the Council will be widely recognised as a leading Council in Northern Europe by 2010.

For Planning and Infrastructure this means making a visible difference to the quality of the city’s urban and natural environment by promoting high quality development and providing an effective infrastructure to make us a world class strategic location.

To do this we must think strategically, facilitate development, engage positively with communities and the business sector and be open and transparent in our decision making, leading the way in demonstrating the new culture of the Council and the Scottish Government. It will be a dynamic, exciting and rewarding place to work – a leading provider of planning and infrastructure services in Northern Europe.

We also have a key role in delivering the vision for the City and Shire as expressed through regional plans and strategies. As part of Strategic Leadership, Planning and Infrastructure is tasked with seeing that Aberdeen stays at the forefront of planning for the future. For the many various parts of how we will achieve this please see the Related Links section.
