We will seek to create district identities around our brand pillars which will inform programming and partnership delivery across the Square Mile. These will be subject to refinement during the brand review process but seek to encompass with the below themes:\\ * **History and heritage**. A City dripping in treasures and stories of the past, present and future. A City founded on a spirit of enterprise and innovation, open to discovery and excited to share its story with the world.\\ * **Culture and creativity**. A City as comfortable with the roof top concert, as the conservatoire; the pop-up, pop-art as the gallery. A City that continues to inspire invention, making and design – and the talent who want to excel.\\ * **Shopping and socialising.** A City of fun, colour and lightness. With vibrant clusters and a destination retail-hospitality offer that entices people to stay.\\ * **Wellness.** A City where everyone is welcomed and included. A City of community and connections, education and enrichment, relaxation and renewal. ###Report on the Golden Key event and City Envoy January 2023 [[https://democracy.cityoflondon.gov.uk/documents/s180561/Destination%20City%20update%20report%20FINAL%20V2.pdf|Summary]]\\ Includes proposals to appoint of a Member to join the City Envoy Network "to represent the collective views of residents on the Destination City agenda.
