Our promise to you

On 21 December 2017 Birmingham committed to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games. We also made a promise to seize this moment to invest in the future of our city and our young people. We set out to Be Bold in our plans for the Games and its legacy so we benefit every household.

This plan is our promise to you to deliver a bold legacy for Birmingham.

To be Bold for Birmingham we will:

• Boost investment in Birmingham, creating thousands of jobs and become a world-leader in hosting international events
• Engage every child and young person in the Games, including all 400+ schools in the city
• Build programmes and community projects to kickstart an accessible fitness and wellbeing boom
• Open our city to the world and connect our communities for and after the Games
• Launch an era of green growth through high-quality sports facilities, thousands of new sustainable homes and green transport links to become a carbon neutral city by 2030
• Deliver our promise to the city and become a leading local authority with bold ambitions
