 Wales is developing and growing across our valleys, farmlands, mountains and coastlines. In our villages, towns and cities, our communities are varied and active. Our rich heritage and culture attract visitors from all over the world, creating a thriving tourist economy and promoting Wales globally. Welsh businesses are at the forefront of innovation, embracing new technology, gaining new skills and utilising renewable energy. Together we are moving forward and together we are making plans for the future. The National Development Framework is our plan for Wales over the next 20 years, from 2020 to 2040. We will be building, developing and investing for everyone, while protecting our heritage and the resources we already have. It is a plan to make the most of us, the most of Wales. All plans for your local area, your region and the country will work together to ensure Wales gets what it needs. Because together we can create. A Wales with vibrant rural communities and good homes, jobs and services, where the Welsh language is thriving. A Wales with prosperous growing towns and cities, where innovation and culture are promoted. A Wales with connected transport network links in place, to ensure we have interconnected and sustainable communities. A Wales with fast digital network and new technologies, where we have smart and connected communities and businesses. A Wales that sustains, manages and protects our natural resources, where we value and protect our ecosystems and biodiversity and the benefits they bring. A Wales that faces the challenges of climate change, where we lead the way in cleaner energy production, decarbonisation and creating a healthier future. The National Development Framework sets out the outcomes we wish to see, influencing where funding and investment can go and where development can happen. So we have the best Wales, now and in the future. It's our Wales, so get involved and help shape our future.
