From trains to cranes: HS2 and the West Midlands’ development boom

According to specialist research, HS2 will drive a £10billion economic uplift in the West Midlands over the next 10 years.  The impending arrival of HS2 in the West Midlands is already delivering a positive economic legacy, driven by the promise of enhanced connectivity and heightened investor confidence.

Since Parliament approved building HS2 between London and the West Midlands in 2017, there has been a significant increase in regeneration and investment activity close to the West Midlands’ two HS2 stations (Birmingham Curzon Street and Interchange) and its planned Network Integrated Control Centre and maintenance depot in Washwood Heath.

In this report, we shift our focus from track and trains to those opportunities and the plans in hand for transformational regeneration and investment across the West Midlands.
