Wolverhampton Sustainability Strategy Review

This report critically examines Wolverhampton's Sustainability Strategy and Implementation Plan (2013-2018), assessing its effectiveness in balancing economic development, social well-being, and environmental protection. The report uses a three-pillar framework (People, Planet, Profit) to analyze the strategy's strengths and weaknesses, comparing it to international, European, national, and regional approaches. The analysis includes a discussion of climate change concerns, the selection of an appropriate development model, and recommendations for improvement. The report concludes that while the strategy demonstrates a proactive approach to environmental management, further emphasis on economic development and the creation of industrial hubs is needed to ensure long-term sustainability.
