A Better Life: the role of culture in the sustainable development of the East of England sets out the new cultural strategy for the region. It explains the vision for culture and aims to encourage decision-makers and funders to make culture a foundation of their infrastructure and planning.

The vision of A Better Life is to put culture at the heart of life in this region – for every resident and visitor, wherever they are and whoever they are. The new cultural strategy has four key themes to provide a focus for investment and decision-making over the next 10–20 years:

• embedding culture in growth and regeneration
• developing creativity
• growing cultural tourism
• capturing the benefits of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games
