Leader of  the City of Edinburgh Council – Councillor Cammy Day

“Edinburgh has long been recognised as a great place to live, visit, study, and do business. The city benefits from a highly skilled population, low unemployment, high productivity, and a dynamic local business base. Multiple world-leading companies have chosen to base their operations in Edinburgh, while every year thousands of people from around the world come to Edinburgh to make their home, pursue an education, advance their career, or simply enjoy the city’s fantastic assets.

Far from resting on its laurels, Edinburgh has recently brought forward a number of major investments to help keep the city highly competitive. The first new concert hall to be developed in the city in over a century, coupled with a new National Centre of Music, will strengthen the city’s already-rich cultural offering. A massive housebuilding programme is delivering homes for the city’s key workers. And massive extensions to Edinburgh’s tram line and cycle network are radically improving connectivity throughout the city.”
