In this video, Bristol Mayor George Ferguson talks about the reasons why his city is the European Green Capital for 2015: creativity, resiliency, and a high quality of life. He also discusses some of the economic challenges the city is facing and how he hopes to confront them. He says “. . . I recognize the importance of creating a healthy, caring city for every citizen. I want Bristol to be a place where the cared for and the caring – young and old – are respected and valued members of our society and where living healthy, happy, and safe lives is the shared aspiration for every citizen.” He describes a series of ways that Bristol is working to create a healthy city for all through the use of active transportation, walkability, green spaces, public spaces, affordable local food, public participation, and more.
