Who we are

About the City Region

The City Region came into existence early in 2006. It is a voluntary partnership between the local authorities of Birmingham, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton; the West Midlands Regional Assembly, Advantage West Midlands, the regional Learning and Skills Council, and the business community. It exists to increase levels of personal and business prosperity through aligning policy and funding decisions of a connected, coordinated and cross border basis.

Our Vision

By 2020 the City Region will have high levels of personal prosperity, business success and population growth equal to those in the south east of England with every individual realising his or her full potential. It will be well on the way to achieving carbon neutrality.
