# Clarington Strategic Plan
Clarington is a place of possibilities. Known for our thriving energy sector, historic downtowns, and as a great place to raise a family, people want to be in Clarington! By the year 2051, Clarington's total population is forecast to grow from 105,000 to 221,000--that's an increase of 110 per cent. The future is bright; and to responsibly navigate this growth, we have a roadmap to guide us.
Clarington's Strategic Plan is the guiding document that outlines the Municipality of Clarington's priorities for the next four years. It is the product of extensive community engagement and is designed to be reflective of Council and the community's collective aspirations.
With a clear vision ahead, this strategy will drive our decision-making, inform our work plans and align our actions so we can take advantage of the possibilities before us. We will preserve our natural heritage and the character of our hamlets and villages while preparing for the larger, more diverse community we are becoming. With a foundation of good governance, we will enhance the quality of life for residents today and for future generations who will call Clarington home.
