Accelerating the midlands engine
The Midlands Engine provides the strong growth narrative and ambition needed to underpin long term planning and development. From HS2 to major new urban communities to east-west connectivity, we're proud to be translating vision into delivery. With the spotlight approaching, it's time to galvanise momentum and ensure the region capitalises on the once-in-a-generation opportunity of infrastructure investment and global profile.



As the Midlands continues to attract investment and becomes a magnet for growth opportunities, it’s critical that we have joined-up thinking as this will shape places for years to come.
