Why Perth, Why Now?
Perth’s population growth projections show a 27% increase over 20 years with residents enjoying an exceptional quality of life, including easy access to the great outdoors and a vibrant cultural scene. In addition to this, the £26M city hall transformation project, which will see the Stone of Destiny returned to Perth, is expected to boost tourism for years to come.
Perth offers unrivalled links across the UK and internationally by road, air, rail and sea and it is widely acknowledged that the area is a strategic hub in the Scottish transport network. Principal road routes connecting the central belt to north and north-east Scotland converge here making it the obvious choice for a national green transport hub and centre of excellence for innovation, distribution, and future technologies.
By connecting this vision for industry to an exceptional 20-minute neighbourhood Perth is aims to address the changing needs of society and provide a real opportunity to affect positive change to the way in which we do business and enjoy life.
