Core Values

Sunnyvale for All
The City should work for every resident regardless of age, gender, economic status, culture and orientation. Sunnyvale is a City of no Majority. We should embrace and celebrate diversity which is our strength.

Neighborhoods and Communities
Neighborhood and communities form the backbone and communication channels that the city can use to develop a close relationship with its citizens. A well-developed neighborhood improves the quality of life.
