Missions
The Birmingham City Partnership Board is committed to providing strategic leadership and direction to enable the delivery of the City Vision and its five strategic missions.
Birmingham's vision is to become a city that effectively tackles inequality, fostering a thriving economy where all communities benefit from greater opportunities and wellbeing. By 2035, the city aims to be the best in Europe for young people and a global leader as an anti-racist city, reflecting its diverse and youthful population.
Birmingham aspires to be a healthy, sustainable city that celebrates its diversity, culture and history, while remaining committed to eliminating all forms of inequality. It will continue to be the UK’s leading city of entrepreneurship, harnessing the potential of its youth and building a vibrant economy that benefits all residents.
The Birmingham City Partnership Board is also committed to embodying the Birmingham Promise and associated values.
