Whether it’s the renowned Universities or the World-class hospitals, the pioneering technology and science or the incredible history, the beautiful environment, or the diverse communities and vibrant cultural scene, few can match Oxford. The City Council is as ambitious as Oxford itself, determined to build on its strengths and committed to addressing the challenges Oxford faces.
